Manufacurer | Tesla, Inc. |
Brand | TESLA |
Model | MODEL X |
Model Year | 2016 |
File date | 01/11/17 |
Component | SUSPENSION |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | Here is a model x in the junkyard. It does not appear to have been in a collision, air-bags have not deployed and there is very little damage to any of the body panels. The suspension has collapsed. The front rh suspension has totally fallen apart. The top ball joint has popped apart. This ball joint is much too flimsy for a car of this weight and performance. This car is less than a year old so the failure can not be blamed on poor maintenance or excessive mileage. Please investigate the reason why so many low mileage near new teslas are having suspension failures. Thank you. Concerned citizen. |
