So if this is a vehicle you bought from Tesla, who took it in on trade from someone who had an accident and possibly had it fixed at a non-Tesla certified repair centre, I am surprised they actually took it in on trade. They at least did disclose it had been in a previous accident, yes?Follow-up in case anyone cares. They got back to me and have determined that there was a collision or excessive wear and tear at some point (not necessarily at the time of the incident, but that was the straw the broke the camel's back). Thus, I'll have to go through insurance to get this resolved. The repairs are going to be extensive:
Front L & R Lower Fore Links
Front L & R Lower Aft Links
Front L Drive Unit Halfshaft
Front L Air Spring Module
Steering Gear Assembly
Parts come out to about $5200 and Labor another $2600. Disappointing that Tesla isn't taking ownership of these design flaws, but at least they're doing the right thing in the repairs (I think).
In any case this should not be included in this thread as it is non-related to the issue.
