2018 TESLA MODEL 3 Complaints

HERE IS ANOTHER MODEL 3 IN THE JUNKYARD WITH THE SAME OLD SNAPPED SPARROW LEG SUSPENSION. HTTPS://WWW.IAAI.COM/VEHICLE?ITEMID=29342528&ROWNUMBER=85&LOADRECENT=TRUE ALL OF THE AIR-BAGS HAVE GONE OFF BUT THERE IS NO SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE EXCEPT FOR THE SNAPPED SUSPENSION. IT IS QUITE LIKELY THAT AFTER THE WHEEL WENT WHOMPY THE CAR SPUN AROUND AND DECELERATED RAPIDLY SETTING OFF THE AIRBAGS. THERE ARE NOW FOUR REPORTED INSTANCES OF MODEL 3 SNAPPED SUSPENSIONS AND YET NOT A SINGLE OWNER HAS FILED A COMPLAINT. I WONDER WHY.... PERHAPS TESLA HAS THEM SIGN AN NDA? PLEASE INVESTIGATE. PLEASE PLEASE INVESTIGATE. THANK YOU. PERPLEXED CITIZEN.

HERE IS A TESLA MODEL 3 IN THE JUNKYARD. HTTPS://WWW.IAAI.COM/VEHICLE?ITEMID=29367271&ROWNUMBER=103&LOADRECENT=TRUE IT HAS NOT BEEN IN A COLLISION. NO AIR-BAGS HAVE DEPLOYED AND THERE IS NO IMPACT DAMAGE. THE FRONT WHEEL AND SUSPENSION HAVE SIMPLY SNAPPED OFF LIKE A SPARROWS LEG. THE TOP BALL JOINT HAS POPPED APART. THE LOWER BALL JOINT STEMS HAVE SNAPPED OFF. THE MODEL 3 IS NO BETTER THAN THE MODEL S AND MODEL X IN THIS REGARD. THE SUSPENSION COMPONENTS ARE TOO WEAK FOR THE JOB AND THE 2 PIECE BALL-JOINT STEMS ARE EASILY SNAPPED OFF. THERE HAVE ALREADY BEEN AT LEAST FOUR SIMILAR CASES OF SNAPPED MODEL 3 SUSPENSIONS. I WILL BE FILING ANOTHER ONE STRAIGHT AFTER THIS. THANK YOU. VERY CONCERNED CITIZEN. DATE OF INCIDENT IS AN APPROXIMATION.

I WAS PULLING INTO A DRIVEWAY WHEN MY FOUR WEEK OLD TESLA MODEL 3, UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATED FOR NO OBVIOUS REASON. IT FELT LIKE CAR WAS FLYING AT A HIGH SPEED AND I HAD NO CONTROL. IN A BLURR, WE WERE SURROUNDED BY INFLATED AIRBAGS ON ALL SIDES IN A SMOKE FILLED CAR AND I REALIZED CAR HAD CRASHED INTO THE GARAGE DOOR AND NOW WAS PINNED UNDER A CRUMPLED GARAGE DOOR. IN SECONDS, AN EVERYDAY INSTANCE OF PULLING INTO THE DRIVEWAY HAD SUDDENLY CHANGED INTO A NIGHTMARE.

HERE IS ANOTHER MODEL 3 IN THE JUNKYARD WITH A THE FRONT SUSPENSION FALLEN OFF. THIS CAR HAS ONLY TRAVELLED 1000 MILES SINCE IT WAS FACTORY GATED. HTTPS://WWW.IAAI.COM/VEHICLE?ITEMID=29216371&ROWNUMBER=83&LOADRECENT=TRUE NO CRASH DAMAGE. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE SUSPENSION BOLTS HAVE SNAPPED AGAIN. I HAVE SEARCHED YOUR DATABASE AND IT SEEMS THAT NEITHER THE VEHICLE OWNER NOR TESLA HAVE BOTHERED TO FILE A REPORT OF THIS ALARMING FAILURE. YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PHOTOGRAPHS THAT THE BOLTS HAVE SNAPPED THIS IS AN INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. PLEASE TAKE ACTION TO PREVENT LOSS OF LIFE. THANK YOU. CONCERNED CITIZEN WHO REFUSES TO MIND HIS OWN BUSINESS.

HERE IS A TESLA MODEL 3 IN THE JUNKYARD. HTTPS://WWW.IAAI.COM/VEHICLE?ITEMID=29158128&ROWNUMBER=50&LOADRECENT=TRUE IT HAS NOT BEEN IN A COLLISION. NO AIRBAGS HAVE DEPLOYED AND THERE IS NO SIGN OF IMPACT DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. THE FRONT RIGHT HAND SUSPENSION HAS COMPLETELY SNAPPED OFF AND THE UNDAMAGED WHEEL IS LYING BESIDE THE CAR. SINCE THE WHEEL IS UNDAMAGED THIS FAILURE CANNOT HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY RUNNING INTO A POTHOLE OR EVEN A HERD OF WILDERBEEST SWEEPING MAJESTICALLY ACROSS THE FREEWAY. THE BOLTS HAVE SNAPPED. IT SEEMS LIKELY THAT TESLA IS USING THE SAME FRAGILE 2 PIECE BOLTS THAT HAVE BEEN SNAPPING ON THE MODEL S AND MODEL X. A PHOTOGRAPH OF THE BROKEN MODEL 3 AND A PHOTOGRAPH OF A SNAPPED BOLT FROM A MODEL S IS ATTACHED WITH THIS COMPLAINT. PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM NOT THE OWNER, I AM A CONCERNED CITIZEN ACTING IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST. DATE OF INCIDENT AND SPEED OF VEHICLE ARE APPROXIMATIONS. I HAVE USED A DUMMY USA ADDRESS BECAUSE YOUR WEBSITE WILL ONLY ACCEPT A US ADDRESS. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT IT IS PERFECTLY LEGITIMATE FOR A NON OWNER AND NON US CITIZEN TO FILE COMPLAINTS. MY CORRECT NAME AND CONTACT DETAILS ARE SUPPLIED WITH THIS SUBMISSION.

SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. VEHICLE WAS RETRIEVED FROM SERVICE CENTER AFTER A CENTER SCREEN/COMPUTER REPLACEMENT. LATER THAT EVENING, WHEN ARRIVING AT THE DESTINATION AT A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD, I RELEASED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND TURNED TO APPROACH THE CURB. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS NEXT TO THE CURB, IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. I QUICKLY APPLIED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND TURNED THE WHEEL TO STEER AWAY FROM THE CURB TO AVOID COLLISION WITH A PARKED CONSTRUCTION VEHICLE. VIDEO OF THE INCIDENT WAS CAPTURED WITH THE RING DOORBELL CAMERA AND VIDEO FOOTAGE IS AVAILABLE.

I WAS AT THE SUPERCHARGING STATION IN DUBLIN ( CALIFORNIA) . WHEN I WANTED TO TAKE REVERSE AND PARK MY CAR FOR SUPERCHARGING.MY CAR SHOWED THE OPTION OF AUTOPARK. SINCE THERE WAS AN OPEN SPOT AVAILABLE FOR PARKING MY CAR (WHERE MY CAR FITS PROPERLY - AS PER TESLA GUIDELINES) .I STARTED AUTO PARKING ,IN AUTOPARK FEATURE USUALLY THE CAR COMES CLOSE TO THE OTHER CAR AND THEN TAKES NECESSARY TURN. BUT IN MY CASE THE CAR CAME VERY CLOSE TO THE OTHER CAR AND INSTEAD OF STOPPING IT SPEEDED UP AND DASHED TO THE OTHER CAR IN THE PARKING SPOT. MY CAR HAS COLLISION PREVENTION PLUS IT PROVIDES ACCURATE DISTANCE IF THERE IS SOME OBJECT BEHIND MY CAR, BUT IN THIS CAR NEITHER OF THE SYSTEMS ALERTED ME AND LED TO A CRASH.I RAISED A COMPLAINT TO TESLA ABOUT THE AUTO PARK FEATURES PROBLEM BUT HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY ANY WORD FROM THEM. I HAVE ATTACHED THE IMAGES OF THE CAR.

WHILE DRIVING IN AUTONOMOUS MODE IT SUDDENLY VEERED TO THE RIGHT WHERE AN 18 WHEELER WAS IN THE NEXT LANE. IT ALMOST HIT THE TRUCK. I WAS ATTENTIVE ENOUGH TO TAKE CONTROL. AFTER A FEW MINUTES SOMETHING HAPPENED AGAIN.

HERE IS A MODEL 3 IN THE JUNKYARD HTTPS://WWW.IAAI.COM/VEHICLE?ITEMID=28782924&ROWNUMBER=52&LOADRECENT=TRUE THE LOWER BALL-JOINTS ON THE FRONT SUSPENSION HAVE SNAPPED. THIS IS VERY LIKELY THE CAUSE OF THE ROLLOVER AND NOT THE RESULT OF IT. A PHOTOGRAPH IS ATTACHED OF ANOTHER MODEL 3 (THE RED ONE) WHICH HAS THE SAME SNAPPED OFF BALL-JOINTS. THESE BALL JOINTS APPEAR TO BE THE SAME RIDICULOUSLY WEAK TWO PART FRICTION WELDED BALL JOINTS THAT ARE USED ON THE MODEL S AND MODEL X. PHOTOGRAPH OF A SNAPPED BALL JOINT IS ALSO INCULDED IN THIS SUBMISSION. THANK YOU. DRIVE SAFELY AND WATCH OUT FOR TESLAS.

PASSENGER DOORS OPENED ELECTRICALLY. I BELIEVE MANUAL BACKUP OPENING EXISTS ONLY WITH FRONT DOOR. WILL REAR SEAT PASSENGERS BE ABLE TO EVACUATE ARITHMETIC FIRE, OR IN WATER, OR WILL THEY BE TRAPPED? HAS NOT HAPPENED, BUT MIGHT IT HAPPEN?
