There are many teslas in the wrecking yards with broken front suspensions. owners are complaining on the forums of vibration problems that are causing damage to the drive shafts. tesla seems unable to fix this problem and it may be creating a risk of sudden failure. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/front-vibration-when-accelerating-accelerometer-graphs.72268/page-2 sample: @mmccord unfortunately replacing the half-shafts did solve the problem but only for one month. the vibration came back. after four attempts by the sc to fix it the car still has the vibration. now that you mentioned high setting now i can replicate the problem every time. it also explains why only in some circumstances i got the vibration. my driveway is a bit higher than the main road so i have the suspension set to high when i arrive home. when i usually leave before hitting a higher speed road the suspension will stay to high. the moment i pull into a high speed road ( > 35 mph, which is the threshold for standard setting), even a mild acceleration will cause the shudder. i had the following work done: front right halfshaft - dual motor (1030616-00-a) front left halfshaft - dual motor (1030615-00-a) front jackshaft assembly - dual motor (1030632-00-a) sdu re alignment front drive unit mounting bushes adjusting none of that solved the problem or solved it for a couple of weeks. my conclusion is that the car doesn't bode to well when transitioning from high to standard setting while you accelerate mildly or stronger. i use it daily at least two locations and now it explains why i am getting the shudder after leaving in exactly same spot. and yes it will wear the half shafts prematurely. anyone had this problem fixed for good? my sc seems clueless and the whole situation is embarrassing for them really. *tr
The ?stalling? problem happened to my model s since i started to drive the new car in 03/16. i got kicked from ?d?/?r? to ?p? at beginning stage when i start to press the accelerator, around 50% of the time when i started or changed my sitting position. the problem would stop after i adjust my sitting position/posture several times. i reported to tesla roadside service several times in 04/16. there was no solution on-line, i have never got any follow up from tesla as promised. i took my car to sales agent [xxx] in bethesda, md. he could not solve my problem, suggested to go to service shop in rockville, md. the stalling problem becomes a hazardous issue when it happened on the road, especially in slopped busy intersections. on 05/13/16, i took my car to service shop in rockville md. the engineers check out system & records. they verified stalling happened in that morning, & claim there was nothing wrong with car/system. the problem was ?nobody was sitting on the driving seat? when stalling happened. they want me to keep records. it was stupid ignorance & irresponsibility. on 06/11/16, i sent complaint to servicehelpna [email protected] i got response the next day, kick me back to where i came from: [xxx], ?. i am sorry you have had this experience with your vehicle. the best person to address this, get it resolved, and escalate the issue if necessary, would be the local service manager. i have reached out to them and asked them to look into this issue on your behalf and have their team follow up with you. ? ivanחנ bergman | technical support specialist it is 06/17/16. i have received nothing from tesla. the stalling problem persists. instead of keeping being kicked around by tesla, i bring my complaint to nhtsa [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr
