Description of the problem | Here is a 2020 model y in the junkyard https://www. Iaai. Com/vehicledetails/37686849? Rownumber=56 it has been partially disassembled which makes it hard to determine why it ended up being written off. However. The front motor and suspension has been removed as a complete assembly and it is obvious that there has been a suspension and steering failure. Blown up photograph is attached to this submission. The top ball joint has slipped out of its stupidly designed slot. Worst of all the steering arm ball-joint has popped apart. In a virtually new car this is just ludicrous. Is there any point in me continuing to report these defects to nhtsa? Should i file my complaints with the chinese safety authorities? They see to be more interested in enforcing vehicle safety regulations than you guys. Have a safe day. Keep a look out for oncoming teslas. Regards your friend keef |
