Mt Tesla S75’s driver rear suspension failed while I was driving at highway speed on I-95 north on 1/15/2021. This happened out of blue, no pothole or accident etc. Suddenly, my Tesla MS was jerking violently side to side between lanes after a laud noise. I was somehow able to move this unsteerable car across 3-lane traffic and brought it to stop on the right side medium. This happened on a busy highway before MLK long weekend. Thank the many drivers who managed to avoid hitting us, I miraculously survived this incident but left severely traumatized. I had the car towed to Tesla service center and they confirmed the $3,100+ suspension damage and damages to brake line as a consequence. My Tesla MS is exact 4-years old (manufactured in 01/2017) and 60,224 miles driven, and I was told that it’s out of warrantee and I had to pay for the repair. For a Tesla to have this early suspension failure during normal driving on highway without any warning is simply unimageable. Though I am extremely luck to survive this without getting hurt, this suspension failure can easily cause major accidents and have many people killed. It’s criminal for Tesla and Musk to deny this defect.
