While driving our Tesla Model Y in our neighborhood on a straight road at 20-25mph, a plate attached to our right/passenger side rear wheel broke turning the wheel 45 degrees out. This resulted in our car slamming into the left rear driver’s side of parked car with enough force to knock it up and over a curb due, break that other car's rear axle and bending their frame. While Tesla is denying responsibility, our insurance company of the past 35 years, our mechanic of the past 25 and the tow truck driver at the scene confirmed the cause of the accident as the result of the Tesla part breaking. Tesla has had recalls around the globe and our limited searching has shown stories, videos and photos similar to our experience.
Does anyone in this group have suggestions about how to hold Tesla accountable since they are a big company denying responsibility?
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
