The Morning Before I Call SC About the Shudder...

[Seanjay]

• Bought my pre-owned 2016 75D in January.
• Shudder at 65-75 miles.
• Love it anyway.
• Hit nothing.
• Currently waiting for Roadside Assistance to call back about the tow and the Uber.
• Ugh.

The shudder is caused by the front suspension, not the back. I do not recall seeing a similar failure with the rear suspension...will be interesting to know what the heck happened.

Did not know that. Thanks. Will definitely update here.

Whew! Thought you were going full cholo on us.

Believe the OP is speaking about a different kind of shudder than usually experienced.

Most of the posts on shudder are with hard acelleration from low speeds. Sounds like OP is speaking about a shudder when cruising.

Bet Service gets a quick handle on his issue.

Did this happen while driving or while parked? Looks like it's probably another case of a broken control arm. Cast aluminum parts always scare me a bit, super strong for their weight, but brittle.

Make sure you aren't on the "hidden" ultra low suspension setting

Whew, that could have caused a real dangerous situation. Keeping fingers crossed you get a Tesla loaner.
