2022 Tesla Model Y suspension complaints

Filed Nov 18, 2022 · Suspension · NH

Went to get my state vehicle inspection and had heard a noise actually from the time I picked the car up new at dealer. The noise sounded like something rattling in the "frunk" down by front driver wheelwell. I thought nothing if it until the state inspector at the Tesla focused shop in Londonderry NH called me from waiting room and showed me on the lift what the noise was. He showed me what I now know is called a "jam nut" on the tie rod end of the front driver wheel. It was not even touching the actual tie rod end to hold it in place. I noticed after he tightened it the steering wheel became tighter slightly in a good way. The noise I heard was gone since picking the car up as well. This concerns me greatly. I am not sure if other nuts or bolts are correctly set on the suspension or even throughout the car as the robot or human device attaching bolts may have had a muscalibrated device and this likely is not limited to one nut on one vehicle unless it was simply gross human incompetence.

I was pulling out of the garage and I heard disturbing sound coming from the bottom it sounds like something is breaking. I thought I drove over something like water bottle but a lot louder. So I stopped halfway through the garage and looked under, nothing visible looked around each tire nothing, checked the monitor screen no warning, nothing, so I thought maybe the sound is not coming from the car and I decided to continue, pulling out and made it to the drive way and still a lot of noise sounds like big crack sound. I parked and checked the tires nothing. Looked under the front bumper, it looks like something is a little out of shape but it wasn’t clear. Then I realized I can’t drive like this so I started to drive forward the noise was very loud, barely made it to the original parking spot then I got out of the vehicle, checked again and a lot of stuffs hanging near front wheels, looks like something is wrong with the suspension, the car has only 2000 miles on it. The worst part is that there is not a single warning sign on that big screen which supposed to show If something is not in order. If it wasn’t for the unpleasant noise, my 7 month pregnant wife would have been driving in the middle of a freeway in less than 5 minutes. I am still shaking from how close we were to be a real danger to ourselves and to other drivers on the roads. We got lucky that it happened right before we get to the roads. I want a full safety and defects inspections on the 2022 model Y
