Thats what I get for not proof reading after I speak into my phone. LMFAO brakes not breaks.

I had my car in the shop at the ROSS PARK SEARS, the work was done by a Tesla ranger, for front breaks. I had 78,000 miles on my front breaks and rotors before they had to be replaced. The rear pads are only worn about 50% . Tesla was very gracious in giving me a loaner, despite or...

I disagree, because they can come apart when hitting a pothole. I know there are a ton of potholes in western Pa and central New Youk.

You forgot to say IMHO. Here is a good balanced article. Contrary To Musk's Suggestion, NHTSA Did Not Call Tesla Suspension Complaints ‘Fraudulent’ - HybridCars.com

Tesla -Whompy Wheels

you said maybe the rubber seal around my ball joint cracked and black dirt and or water into caused the corrosion. But if you watch my video that I posted on YouTube you will see that the right upper control arm ball joint still had its Rubber seal intact and yet it was worn to the point that it...

I have no idea whether or not Tesla has a fleet-wide suspension problem or if it's just a few one-off cases. I will tell you that I did not abuse my car and even though I only live 2 miles from my office I drive about 120 plus miles a day.I know you won't believe me when I say for safety reasons...

Mr Cordaro, This is real strange that you are still posting stuff about NHTSA and Tesla cars. The two complaints that were filed have both been resolved rather uneventfully it seems. One via an easy software update, and the other was a known upper control arm replacement (which Tesla already...

You have Blinders on. Tesla has a problem. IMHO

NHTSA website.

I stand corrected, the date of incident was last week, 6/09/2016. 2013 TESLA MODEL S | Safercar | National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)

Yes. But with or without an NDA?

Filed 6/13/2106 11/06/2015 with only 45k miles. I guess he abused his car!

I said that this would be my last post before, but because of you uninformed bashers I must clear the air. My car was serviced by a Tesla employee at the sears. Tesla has ranger service from that location and they,Tesla, did the work and issued an invoice on their letterhead Lastly my car had...

WOW people are so naive, I live within 2 miles of my business, also on a paved road. My Model S has not been abused or driven regularly on any dirt road. The car was serviced at the Ross Park Mall sears service center just three weeks before the incident, So I blindly believed the car was in...

I never drove on any road nearly that rough.

You would think Tesla would of googled my address before making such an outragiuos statement! They lost all credability. Deflection?

AMEN.

They have my address and should of googled earth my address before making such an outrageous statement. Tesla has lost all credibility. The above statement is an out and out lie. I live on a paved road in the city of Connellsville pa. The car was towed from a dirt road as I stated earlier...

"The car had over 70,000 miles on it and its owner lives down such a long dirt road that it required two tow trucks to retrieve the car. (One to get the car to the highway and one to get it from the highway to the service center.) When we got the car, it was caked in dirt." They have my...

All you fanboys can criticize me all you want. The fact is I had my car in for service two weeks before the ball joint failed because of excessive tire wear. The service center aligned the front and read end. At that point the excessive ball joint wear should of been detected and all this would...

I have no agenda except the truth. Either there is a problem or not. I believe there is a problem. It is about public safety and saving lives. I own no tesla stock and I am not short any Tesla stock.

I do not care about the stock price. I hope I saved a life.........

Regulators probe reports of Tesla Model S suspension problems http://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/feds-investigating-potentially-widespread-tesla-model-s-suspension-issue/

Believe what you want, time will tell. NHTSA will make a determination on this issue that will become public information.

I did not compile this below. it was sent to me in an email. It was sent to Mr. Price at NHTSA. Some other links regarding this issue. Hard to separate reality vs. noise when looking online. I trust the NHTSA has experts who can evaluate these potentially life threatening Tesla suspensions...

I do because I have nothing to hide. This is about public safety. Read this............ Tesla Suspension Breakage: It's Not The Crime, It's The Coverup - DailyKanban

I just received this email from Mr. Price. I will not comment on this subject again until the NHTSA finding become final. Pete, I got this note today. We are looking at this issue but have not made any determination on defect , quality, or premature failure. We do not know the reason for your...

Yes, the joints were not good and we are looking for more examples to test.. We are in contact with Tesla requesting more information on these parts and others in the suspension. I will keep you updated … Thanks, Jeffrey M. Price Defect Investigator Defects Assessment Division Office of...

You can believe what you want. I don't lie, but you can live in denial.

I just heard back from NHTSA on my worn or failed ball joints. They said that the were of poor quality and failed prematurely. They are looking for other examples or samples to test, to see if it is a bad batch at the production level or a bad design. If you have experienced a similar incident...

WOW I am glad you found out before it was to late and had an accident. The only people checking their cars are the ones reading this thread or the mechanic type. What about the woman of non mechanic type men? Are they having the same problems? Is this causing accidents?

It was not Keef that got me, it was the fact that I lost my wheel. Thank goodness it was at a low rate of speed. It is very obvious to me by some of the pictures on flicker that the same thing happened to those cars, just at a higher rate of speed.Look at the front end damage to some of the...

I just have to wonder why so many tesla's are loosing their wheels............................ Tesla -Whompy Wheels it is worth some discussion. At lease NHTSA has my parts for inspection.

Imply what you like, but I know that most of the miles driven where highway miles. I have no ax to grind with Tesla, I am a fan, only informing people so they can get theirs checked, and maybe save a life or two.

As you all know I can not speak as to the agreement that Tesla and I signed. I can only say that this incident was reported to NHTSA and there is an on going investigation. For safety sake and that of Tesla I hope this is a one off incident. Watch this video that I posted on youtube and you be...

BANNING LOOSEWHEEL IS A FORM OF CENSORSHIP. It is a bad decision. Time will reveal if this is a true problem of a one off.

This is the last post I will make on this subject. Tesla and I have come to terms. I am not at liberty to discuss the terms, I can only say that I am satisfied. I will not cancel my model 3 reservations and I will continue to be a Tesla Ambassador.

This is my last post as Tesla and I have come to terms. I am not at liberty to discuss our That is a absurd statement. The car was never used as an off road vehicle. Most of the 70 thousand mile are highway driving.

It is not the money. When three out of four control arms need replaced in just 70,000 miles, it is a design flaw. I just want Tesla to do the right thing, peoples lives are at stake. I first posted here to warn the Tesla owners of the risk. Now they have been informed, they can take it for what...

no, foolish in hindsight.
