2016 Tesla Model X Complaint Log

HERE IS ANOTHER MODEL X IN THE SALVAGE AUCTION YARD. HTTPS://WWW.IAAI.COM/VEHICLEDETAILS?ITEMID=34470734&ROWNUMBER=3&SIMILARVEHICLEITEMID=&ISNEXT=&LOADRECENT=TRUE IT IS LISTED AS HAVING FRAME AND SUSPENSION DAMAGE. THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT WHEEL IS DISPLACED IN THE WHEEL WELL AND THE TIRE IS SHREDDED AROUND THE ENTIRE CIRCUMFERENCE. SINCE IT IS THE DRIVERS SIDE IT IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY THAT THIS DAMAGE WAS CAUSED BY SCRAPING THE CURB. PLEASE ADD THIS ONE TO THE VAST CATALOGUE OF TESLA SUSPENSION FAILURES. THANK YOU. KEEF.

ON 10/31/2019, MY WIFE WAS WAITING IN LINE AT A CARWASH. WHILE WAITING FOR THE CAR IN FRONT OF HER TO MOVE OUT OF THE CARWASH TUNNEL, SHE HAD HER FOOT FULLY PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE 'HOLD' SIGN WAS SHOWING ON THE INSTRUMENT PENAL SCREEN. APPROXIMATELY 2 MINUTES LATER, SHE RELEASED THE BREAK PADDLE, BUT BEFORE SHE COULD PRESS THE GAS PEDDLE, THE CAR SUDDENLY MOVED FORWARD BY ITSELF AT ALMOST FULL ACCELERATION. MY WIFE IMMEDIATELY ATTEMPTED TO STOP THE CAR BY PRESSING THE BREAK PEDAL IN FULL, THE CAR SLOWED DOWN, BUT DID NOT FULLY STOP AND KEPT MOVING FORWARD UNTIL IT HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF IT. BEFORE AND DURING THE ENTIRE ACCIDENT, SOPHIE KEPT FULL HUMANLY POSSIBLE CONTROL OVER THE CAR, BUT AGAIN, THE CAR ABRUPTLY ACCELERATED BY ITSELF AND DID NOT COME TO A FULL STOP WHEN BREAK PEDAL WAS PRESSED. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO INJURY TO ANYONE, BUT THE FRONT BUMPER OF THE CAR IS DENTED.

PULLING INTO A PARKING PLACE THE CAR ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL EVEN THOUGH THE BRAKE WAS PRESSED

THIS IS ANOTHER COMPLAINT ABOUT TESLA SUSPENSION BREAKAGES. PLEASE NOTE THAT I HAVE USED THE VIN OF ANOTHER BROKEN TESLA SO THAT I CAN FILE THIS COMPLAINT IMMEDIATELY IN THE INTEREST OF PUBLIC SAFETY. HERE IS PART OF A LONG DISCUSSION THREAD ON TESLA SUSPENSION BREAKAGES. THIS IS PAGE 9. HTTPS://TESLAMOTORSCLUB.COM/TMC/THREADS/ANOTHER-FRONT-SUSPENSION-CONTROL-ARM-FAILURE.114967/PAGE-9 SNIP *** PARASP90D, OCT 26, 2019 SO THIS JUST HAPPENED WHILE REVERSING OUT OF MY GARAGE. 75K P90D ATTACHED FILES: 3807DDF2-AD8D-4F31-8D38-4960CD5CF5B1.JPEG 3807DDF2-AD8D-4F31-8D38-4960CD5CF5B1.JPEG C63C8F76-3309-4CB2-BB3E-FAAE715D59D8.PNG C63C8F76-3309-4CB2-BB3E-FAAE715D59D8.PNG **** THE PHOTOGRAPHS CLEARLY SHOW THAT THE ALLOY SUSPENSION LINK HAS SNAPPED INTO PIECES. WHY HAS THERE BEEN NO RECALL? THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS IMMEDIATELY. FRIGHTENED ROAD USER. THANK YOU

THERE ARE ABOUT 4-5 BOLTS WHICH SECURE THE BOTTOM PLASTIC COVER IN BETWEEN THE REAR WHEELS, SEE PHOTOS, THE COVER WILL COME LOOSE AND FALL OUT EVEN AT NORMAL USED. IF THE CAR CONTINUES TRAVEL ON THE FREEWAY, WITHOUT THE BOLTS, THE COVERS CAN EASILY FALL AND HIT THE BEHIND VEHICLES.THAT MIGHT RESULT WITH SERIOUS ACCIDENTS ESPECIALLY ON THE FREEWAY WITH HIGH SPEED. THE CAR ONLY 18K MILES FROM 2016- 2019, LOW MILEAGE, HAD BEEN SERVICE TWICE IN LAST TWO YEARS. TESLA NEEDS TO PROVIDE SCHEDULE ANNUAL INSPECTION DURING THE REGULAR MAINTENANCE TO INSPECT THE BOLTS (SCREWS WHICH SECURED THESE BOTTOM PANELS/COVERS) TO MAKE SURE THE BOLTS (SCREWS) ARE TIGHTEN AND THE COVERS ARE SECURED. THAT ALSO SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE 4 YEARS VEHICLE WARRANTY, NOT JUST BLAME THE CLIENTS, AND TRY TO SEND THE CLIENT TO CONTACT LOCAL BODY SHOP. IT IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE MANUFACTURER TO MAKE SURE THEIR VEHICLES ARE SAFE TO DRIVE AND TO BE ON THE ROAD WITHIN THE WARRANTY PERIOD UNDER REASONABLE USED. THEY ALSO NEED TO PREVENT FUTURE ACCIDENT WITH THEIR PRODUCTS.

THERE IS MAJOR RATTLING THAT HAPPENS IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION AND WHEN NOTIFIED THIS TO TESLA, THEY MENTIONED THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE A PERMANENT FIX FOR IT YET. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE UPPER CONTROL ARM IN THE PAST BUT THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO COME BACK.

HERE IS A TESLA MODEL X IN THE JUNKYARD. HTTPS://WWW.COPART.COM/LOT/53118179/PHOTOS IT APPEARS TO HAVE BURNED UP IN THE JUNKYARD PRESUMABLY BECAUSE THE BATTERY PACK WAS DAMAGED IN A CRASH AND IT DECIDED TO WAIT A WHILE BEFORE SELF COMBUSTING. BOTH BACK WHEELS HAVE SNAPPED OFF DESPITE THERE BEING NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT TO THAT PART OF THE CAR. THE BROKEN SUSPENSION ARM FROM ONE OF THE BACK WHEELS HAS BEEN PLACED ON THE PASSENGER SEAT ( SEE ATTACHED PHOTOGRAPH) AND IS STILL RECOGNIZABLE DESPITE THE FIRE. THERE HAVE BEEN HUNDREDS OF CASES OF TESLA SUSPENSION BREAKAGES BOTH FROM OWNERS AND FROM CONCERNED CITIZENS. RATHER THAN INVESTIGATING THE CAUSE OF THESE FAILURES MR. ELON MUSK HAS CALLED THE COMPLAINTS "FRAUDULENT" AND THE COMPLAINANT "UNHINGED" HTTPS://TWITTER.COM/ELONMUSK/STATUS/741411531582115841?LANG=EN "OF GREATER CONCERN: 37 OF 40 SUSPENSION COMPLAINTS TO NHTSA WERE FRAUDULENT, I.E. FALSE LOCATION OR VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS WERE USED. WOULD SEEM TO INDICATE THAT ONE OR MORE PEOPLE SOUGHT TO CREATE THE FALSE IMPRESSION OF A SAFETY ISSUE WHERE NONE EXISTED. Q IS WHY?" IT IS NOW MORE THAN 3 YEARS ON. MORE LIVES HAVE BEEN LOST. I HAVE NOT BEEN CHARGED WITH MAKING FRAUDULENT COMPLAINTS. THE SUSPENSIONS ARE STILL FAILING. I AM NOT HAPPY.

ANOTHER TESLA IN THE JUNKYARD... HTTPS://WWW.COPART.COM/LOT/53021189/PHOTOS THE BACK WHEEL HAS GONE WHOMPY. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE THAT THE WHOMPYNESS WAS CAUSED BY A COLLISION BECAUSE THE WHEEL AND TIRE ARE UNDAMAGED. IT IS A CERTAINTY THAT THE DAMAGE TO THE SIDE OF THE CAR WAS CAUSED BY LOSS OF CONTROL AFTER THE REAR SUSPENSION SNAPPED AND CAUSED THE CAR TO GO OUT OF CONTROL. HOW MANY MORE TESLA CRASHES CAUSED BY THESE FAILURES DO YOU NEED BEFORE YOU TAKE ACTION??? GOOD GRIEF! VEXED CITIZEN ETC.

ON THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 2019, AT 7:40 AM, I WAS PARKING MY CAR AT WORK AND MY CAR WENT ON FULL SPEED FORWARD OVER THE MEDIAN AND CRASHED, LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT. THIS HAPPENED IN A SPLIT OF A SECOND AND THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY OVERRIDE BREAK THAT SHOULD HAVE PREVENTED FROM GOING OVER AN OBSTRUCTION IN FRONT OF THE CAR DID NOT ENGAGE AS CLAIMED BY TESLA. I REQUESTED AN ANALYSIS OF THE CAR'S RECORDED DATA TO TESLA AND ASKED TO PROVIDE ME WITH A COPY OF THE REPORT FOR BETTER UNDERSTANDING. AFTER WEEKS OF ANALYSIS, AN EMPLOYEE FROM TESLA CALLED AND INFORMED THAT IT WAS MY FAULT AS THE GAS PADDLE WAS FULLY ENGAGED, I WAS ASTONISHED AS I DID NOT HIT THE GAS PADDLE RATHER I JUST LET MY FOOT OFF THE BREAK TO PARK MY CAR SLOWLY IN THE PARKING SPACE AND THE CAR TOOK OFF WITH SPEED AS IF I PUT FULL FORCE TO GAS PADDLE. AS FOR GETTING A COPY OF THE REPORT, HE SAID THAT HE WILL HAVE TO ASK THE ENGINEERS AND LET ME KNOW. IT HAS BEEN FOUR MONTHS, AND NO ONE REACHED OUT TO ME ABOUT THE REPORT. SOME PEOPLE SAW THE WHOLE INCIDENT AND SAID THAT I REDUCED THE SPEED OF MY CAR TO PARK AND SUDDENLY IT TOOK OFF AND WENT FORWARD FAST. AT THAT MOMENT, IT FELT LIKE THE CAR WAS CONTROLLED BY SOMEONE ELSE AS PRESSING ON A BREAK WAS NOT STOPPING THE CAR AND FINALLY, I HAD TO PRESS THE PARK TO STOP IT. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE CAR TO MY WORK AND PARKING AT THE SAME PARKING LOT EVERY DAY FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS. MY INSURANCE TOTALED THE CAR AND PROVIDED THE RESIDUAL VALUE, TO THIS DATE I AM WITHOUT A CAR AND TRYING TO FIX THE DAMAGES OF MY CAR. I ALMOST GAVE UP BUT SAW THE NEWS THAT I AM NOT ALONE ABOUT TESLA DENYING SIMILAR CLAIMS OF HUNDREDS OF SUDDEN ACCELERATION CRASHES. TESLA HAVE THE DATA AND I AM REQUESTING TESLA TO TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY AND COMPENSATE FOR MY DAMAGE. I AM REQUESTING NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE AND HELP BRING CLOSURE TO THIS MATTER.

LEFT FRONT SUSPENSION FORE LINK CRACKED AND FELL OFF. VEHICLE WAS ONLY BACKING UP OUT OF GARAGE AND STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED TO THE LEFT WHEN A LOUD CRACK WAS HEARD FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE BACK UP SPEED WAS ONLY 1-2 MPH. LUCKILY, I WAS STILL IN MY DRIVEWAY TAKING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL. I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT THE OUTCOME WOULD HAVE BEEN IF IT BROKEN 5 MINUTES LATER ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THE KIDS INSIDE THE CAR.

HERE IS A REPORT AND VIDEO OF AN OUT OF CONTROL MODEL X. HTTPS://WWW.TUNOTICIAPR.COM/NOTICIAS-POLICIACAS/1614660804--VIDEO-MUESTRA-VEH%C3%ADCULO-TESLA-DESCONTROLADO-EN-MAYAG%C3%BCEZ-A-PUNTO-DE-ATROPELLAR-A-UNA-PERSONA- ON SATURDAY, AUGUST 10, 2019, A STRANGE VEHICULAR ACCIDENT OCCURRED ON CALLE DE LA CANDELARIA, FORMER STREET MCKINLEY, MAYAGEZ, IN FRONT OF THE BAKERY MASSA BAKERY. THE DRIVER OF A TESLA MODEL X ELECTRIC CAR WAS PARKING, WHEN SUDDENLY IT SPED UP, INITIALLY IMPACTING A PICK-UP BUS. THE IMPRESSIVE IMAGES SHOW THAT THE TESLA VEHICLE WAS VERY CLOSE TO CAUSING INJURIES TO A YOUNG WOMAN WHO WAS GETTING OFF THE WHITE TOYOTA TACOMA ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THEN HE WAS EXTREMELY CLOSE TO RUNNING OVER A PERSON ON THE OPPOSITE SIDEWALK. THE MARCH CONTINUED UNCONTROLLABLY AND IN A CIRCLE, SUBSEQUENTLY IMPACTING A SECOND VEHICLE. CLEARLY THE DRIVER IS UNABLE TO STOP THE CAR. THERE IS NO SUDDEN ACCELERATION (WHICH IS OFTEN BLAMED ON FOOT ERROR). IT WAS ONLY LUCK THAT PREVENTED LOSS OF LIFE. YOU HAVE DOZENS OF REPORTS OF UNINTENDED ACCELERATION FILED. OWNERS ARE ADAMANT THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR NOT DRIVER ERROR. PLEASE TAKE ACTION. ** PLEASE NOTE - I AM NOT THE OWNER...THIS IS A REPORT MADE IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST. I HAVE HAD TO USE THE VIN OF A CAR THAT IS ON A SALVAGE AUCTION SITE IN ORDER TO SATISFY YOUR WEBSITE REQUIREMENTS. THIS IS NOT FRAUDULENT AS ELON MUSK HAS CLAIMED, IT IS JUST A WAY TO OVERCOME THE DEFICIENCIES IN YOUR WEBSITE THAT MAKE IT HARD FOR CONCERNED CITIZENS TO FILE A COMPLAINT ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE NOT US RESIDENTS BUT ARE IN A COUNTRY WHERE THERE ARE DANGEROUS TESLAS LOOSE ON THE ROADS. THANK YOU. HAVE A SPLENDID DAY.

THE CONTROL ARM BROKE WHILE BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPACE. I DID NOT RUN OVER ANYTHING WHEN IT HAPPENED. WHEN I PULLED BACK FORWARD THE FRONT END LIFTED UP. I HATE TO THINK WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED AT HIGH SPEED,

THE CENTER SCREEN KEEPS GOING OUT AND HAVING TO BE RESTARTED. TESLA WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS OVER 100,000 MILES.

UPPER CONTROL ARMS ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF LOUD NOISES WHEN GOING OVER EVEN SMALL BUMPS AND ALSO WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STEER CAR AT SLOW SPEEDS. EACH SIDE WAS REPLACED IN QUICK SUCCESSION, ABOUT A MONTH OR TWO APART AND WAS OUTSIDE OF THE 5 YR/100000 MILE WARRANTY AND SERVICE AND PART CHARGES INCURRED. SERVICE DATE IDENTIFIED BELOW APPROXIMATE, DONT HAVE THE ACTUAL DATE HANDY

CORROSION ON METAL BODY PARTS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE PASSING LANE. SUDDENLY I FELT SOMETHING SMASHING OVER AND OVER ON THE ROOF OF THE CAR. I LOOKED UP BUT COULD NOT SEE WHAT THE CAUSE WAS. I PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND MADE MY WAY OVER THE SHOULDER. I GOT OUT AND INSPECTED THE ROOF. THE PORTION OF HARD PLASTIC THAT SEPARATES THE WINDSHIELD GLASS FROM THE FALCON DOOR GLASS WAS TORN OFF. THERE WAS ONE LITTLE CORNER PORTION ATTACHED. I TRIED TO REMOVE IT MANUALLY BUT COULD NOT. I HAD TO CONTINUE DRIVING ONTO A SUSPENSION BRIDGE AS I HAD NO OTHER CHOICE. ONCE I CROSSED THE BRIDGE, I EXITED AND HEADED TO AN AUTO BODY SHOP. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PHOTOTS, THE PLASTIC WAS SMASHING AROUND WITH SO MUCH FORCE THAT IT CRACKED THE FALCON DOOR GLASS. THE MECHANIC THERE WAS KIND ENOUGH TO REMOVE THE DANGLING PLASTIC AND WEATHERSTRIP SO THAT I COULD GET HOME. I PARKED IN THE TOWN NEARBY TO CALM MY NERVES AS I WAS SHAKING AND UPSET FROM THE WHOLE INCIDENT. I CALLED TESLA SERVICE AND THEY SUGGESTED I DRIVE THE CAR TO A SERVICE CENTER 20 MILES AWAY. I DID NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR THERE SO THEY AGREED TO TOW INSTEAD. IT IS CURRENTLY AT THE TESLA DEALER AND I'VE NOTIFIED MY INSURANCE COMPANY. I AM WAITING TO HEAR FROM BOTH.

In a parking lot when going over a speed bump air suspension failed causing the car to become lower in the front and frequently rubbing against uneven ground. In Tesla model S and X vehicles sent to China, there has been a recall of approximately 30,000 vehicle recalls of these models of Tesla vehicles for faulty air suspension.

CONTROL ARM DISCONNECTED WHILE BACKING OUT OF GARAGE. THERE APPEAR TO BE AT LEAST 5 OTHER RELATED COMPLAINTS. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED AT HIGH SPEED, THE CAR WOULD HAVE BEEN TOTALED.

THE FALCON WING DOORS OF THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT CLOSE. AFTER TRYING TO TROUBLESHOOT THE VEHICLE, ALL THE DOORS OF THE CAR WOULD LOCK AND THE CAR DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN EITHER FROM THE REMOTE OR THE DOOR HANDLE. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO KIDS OR PETS IN THE CAR AND THE CAR WAS ALMOST NEAR THE DRIVEWAY OF THE HOME. THIS HAPPENED AFTER THE CAR WAS PUT IN THE PARKED MODE IN A CITY STREET AFTER A SHORT 10-MILE TRIP.

FRONT RIGHT SIDE (PASSENGER) WHEEL DISLODGED FROM SUSPENSION ARM.IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS REVERSING FROM A PARKING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 TESLA MODEL X. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V062000 (STEERING) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT SPOKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

ON JANUARY 28, 2019 I BACKED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY IN MY 2016 TESLA X, BRAKED, STOPPED, PUT IT IN DRIVE AND BARELY, SLOWLY STARTED DOWN MY LANE WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AT FULL SPEED DOWN THE LANE. I TRIED THE BRAKE TWICE BUT IT DID NOTHING TO SLOW THE ACCELERATION.APPROXIMATELY 75 YARDS DOWN THE LANE THE TESLA ENTERED THE CROSS STREET BELOW AND CLIPPED ANOTHER CAR, DEMOLISHED A LARGE BANK OF MAILBOXES ACROSS THE STREET, TOOK BRIEFLY TO THE AIR SEVERAL FEET DUE TO THE HILLSIDE THERE, HIT A LARGE CEDAR TREE, GLANCED OFF AND FINALLY STOPPED NOSE DOWN, HIGH SIDED ON A LARGE LANDSCAPE BOULDER. BUT FOR THE BOULDER, I WOULD HAVE CONTINUED DOWN INTO THE DEEP RAVINE BEHIND THE NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE. THE AIRBAGS HAD DEPLOYED DURING THESE EVENTS. I WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL BY AMBULANCE AND DIAGNOSED WITH A T-12 SPINAL COMPRESSION FRACTURE, WHICH IS STILL PAINFUL A YEAR LATER. THE CAR WAS TOTALED. POLICE REPORT AND MEDICAL RECORDS AVAILABLE ON REQUEST.

THIS IS A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE SPEED CONTROL IN TESLAS. THERE HAS BEEN A DIS-PROPORTIONALLY HIGH NUMBER OF CASES OF UNINTENDED SUDDEN ACCELERATION AND THE FAULT HAS ALWAYS BEEN BLAMED UPON DRIVER ERROR. HERE IS A REPORT THAT PROVES THE PROBLEM IS AN ELECTRONIC DESIGN FLAW AND THAT TESLA IS DELIBERATELY COVERING UP THE PROBLEM. HTTPS://WWW.AUTOSAFETY.ORG/WP-CONTENT/UPLOADS/2015/03/TESLAS-SUDDEN-ACCELERATION-LOG-DATA-WHAT-IT-SHOWS.PDF SNIP ** - TESLA'S SUDDEN ACCELERATION LOG DATA ' WHAT IT SHOWS BY RONALD A. BELT PLYMOUTH, MN 55447 1 MAY 2018 ABSTRACT: ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR DATA FROM THE LOG FILE OF A TESLA S SUDDEN ACCELERATION INCIDENT IS PROVIDED, AND A TESLA CIRCUIT DIAGRAM IS USED TO EXPLAIN HOW THE DATA IS OBTAINED FROM THE TWO ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSORS. EXAMINATION OF THE DATA SHOWS THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR OUTPUT INCREASED TO CAUSE THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION. BUT THE INCREASE IN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR OUTPUT COULD NOT HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE DRIVER. INSTEAD, THE INCREASE IN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR OUTPUT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY A FAULT IN THE MOTOR SPEED SENSOR, WITH WHICH IT SHARES A COMMON+ 5V POWER AND GROUND. THIS INCREASE IN PEDAL SENSOR OUTPUT OCCURS WITHOUT THE DRIVER PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. ** I AM NOT A TESLA OWNER BUT I AM FORCED TO SHARE THE ROAD WITH THEM. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER URGENTLY. I AM NOT A US RESIDENT, A DUMMY ADDRESS HAS BEEN USED TO SATISFY YOUR WEBSITE REQUIREMENTS. MY TRUE NAME AND ADDRESS ARE INCLUDED WITH THIS SUBMISSION. DATE OF INCIDENT AND NUMBER OF CASUALTIES ARE GUESTIMATES.

The contact owns a 2016 Tesla Model X. The contact stated while driving 5 mph, the contact heard a squeaking sound coming from the front of the vehicle. The contact continued driving to the residence. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the driver’s side upper control arm needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the same dealer and the passenger’s side upper control arm was replaced. The contact stated that a year later the failure recurred on the passenger’s side upper control arm and the vehicle was repaired. The contact stated that the front and rear suspension were leaning to the passenger’s side. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 49,451.

HERE IS A MODEL X IN THE JUNKYARD. HTTPS://WWW.COPART.COM/LOT/42227508 IT HAS NOT BEEN IN A COLLISION. NO AIR-BAGS HAVE DEPLOYED. THE BACK SUSPENSION HAS FALLEN TO BITS CAUSING THE WHEEL TO GO ALL WHOMPY. THE WHEEL ITSELF IS UNDAMAGED BUT THE TIRE HAS BEEN WORN RIGHT DOWN TO THE CANVAS BECAUSE IT WAS RUBBING AGAINST THE WHEEL WELL BEFORE THE SUSPENSION FINALLY SNAPPED CAUSING THE WHEEL TO BURST OUTWARDS . THESE SUSPENSIONS ARE RIDICULOUSLY WEAK BECAUSE THEY ARE MADE FROM SLICED EXTRUDED ALUMINUM WHICH HAS ABOUT AS MUCH STRENGTH AS CHEESE. THIS COULD EASILY HAVE RESULTED IN A FATAL CRASH. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. THANK YOU. VEXED CITIZEN. I AM NOT THE OWNER. DATE OF INCIDENT IS AN APPROXIMATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 TESLA MODEL X. AT VARIOUS TIMES, THE AUTOMATIC DOORS WOULD OPEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TESLA SERVICE CENTER (52 DERWOOD CIR, ROCKVILLE, MD 20850, 301-738-6523), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE DEALER REPROGRAMMED THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 17,000.

THE EYE BOLT THE 2016 TESLA MODEL X THAT IS USE TO LOAD A TESLA ON TO A TOW TRUCK IS DEFECTIVE.THE LOADING MANUAL IS WRONG AS WELL. 08/24/2018 AROUND 10 AM MOUNTAIN TIME IN UTAH. THE LOCATION WAS AT SERVICE KING IN SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH. VEHICLE VIN # [XXX] 2016 MODEL X. THE EYE BOLT USED TO LOAD THE VEHICLE ON TO A WRECKER FOR TRANSPORT IS DEFECTIVE. THE LOADING MANUAL DOES NOT ILLUSTRATE A SAFE METHOD TO LOAD VEHICLE USING THIS EYE BOLT. I WAS LOADING THE VEHICLE VIA THE INSTRUCTIONS OF THE TESLA MODEL X MANUAL AND AS SOON AS I GOT THE VEHICLE TO THE SPOT TO PUT A CHALK BEHIND WHEEL, THE BOLT BROKE AND THE VEHICLE CAME OFF THE DECK AND ALMOST RAN OVER A KID WORKING IN THE BODY SHOP. I GOT SLIGHTLY INJURED TRYING TO STOP VEHICLE FROM HITTING THE WALL. THE BODY SHOP REFUSES TO REPORT THIS SAFETY ISSUE TO TESLA. WHEN I TRIED TO REPORT THIS TO TESLA I WAS HUNG UP ON 2 TIMES. WHEN I TRIED TO CONTACT TESLAS CORPORATE OFFICE I GOT REDIRECTED BACK TO THE SALT LAKE CITY SERVICE DEPARTMENT 2 TIMES WHERE I GOT HUNG UP ON 2 TIME AGAIN. THIS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT CAN AND WILL CAUSE A LOSS OF LIFE OR SERIOUS INJURY. BUT YET TESLA HAS CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSONNEL ACTING LIKE THIS IS A GAME. I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE CONTACTED BE A TESLA REGIONAL REP AND NEVER WAS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE VISITING A FUNERAL HOME IN MELROSE, MA., I NEEDED TO BACK INTO A SPOT TO BE ABLE TO TAKE PART IN THE FUNERAL PROCESSION. I PULLED OUT OF THE SPOT I WAS IN AND PROCEEDED TO PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE TO BACK INTO THE SAME PARKING SPOT. AT THE SAME MOMENT THAT I STARTED TO BACK IN THE CAR SURGED AND MADE AN ARC IN THE PARKING LOT ONLY STOPPING AFTER I HIT A PARKED CAR WITH SUCH FORCE THAT IT CAUSED TWO MORE CARS TO BE HIT BY THE IMPACT. I ATTEMPTED TO STOP THE CAR BY STEPPING ON THE BREAK WHICH HAD NO EFFECT AND EVEN THOUGH I WASN'T HURT, MY ARMS ACHED FOR DAYS BECAUSE I WAS TRYING TO CONTROL THE WHEEL TO NO AVAIL. I HAVE A CLEAN DRIVING RECORD AND WAS IN REVERSE AT THE TIME WHICH MEANT I HAD MY FOOT ON THE GAS TO BACK IN SLOWLY. I HAVE REQUESTED THAT TESLA CHECK THE THE COMPUTER TO SEE IF I AM OF FAULT OR NOT AND THEY HAVE REFUSED. MY TESLA IS BEING REPAIRED AND I NEED TO KNOW IF THIS WAS A TECHNICAL ERROR . I WAS TOLD IT COULD BE THE AUTO PILOT SYSTEM THAT COULD BE A FAULT EVEN THOUGH I HAVE NEVER USED IT. PLEASE HELP BECAUSE I AM CONCERNED THAT WE SHOULD BE AWARE OF HOW THIS HAPPENED.

HERE IS A TESLA MODEL X IN THE JUNKYARD: HTTPS://WWW.COPART.COM/LOT/25589048 THE FRONT RH WHEEL IS JAMMED BACK IN THE WHEEL ARCH AND YET THERE IS NO COLLISION DAMAGE FORWARD OF THE WHEEL. EVEN THE HEADLIGHT GLASS IS INTACT. THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG HAS NOT GONE OFF JUST THE SIDE CURTAIN AIR-BAGS. THE SIDE IMPACT PROBABLY HAPPENED AFTER THE DRIVER LOST CONTROL WHEN THE WHEEL WENT WHOMPY. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. CONCERNED CITIZEN ETC.

I WAS DRIVING MY TESLA MODEL X EV HOME AND THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS. WHEN I PULLED INTO THE DRIVEWAY THE SELF DRIVING FEATURES ACCELERATED THE VEHICLE CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.

HERE IS A MODEL X IN THE JUNKYARD. HTTPS://WWW.COPART.COM/LOT/25385958 IT HAS NOT BEEN IN A COLLISION. NO AIR-BAGS HAVE DEPLOYED. THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE BODYWORK. THE FRONT RH STEERING KNUCKLE HAS CRACKED IN HALF. THIS IS A CLEAR INDICATION OF A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THE CAST ALUMINIUM KNUCKLE HAS A BRITTLE FRACTURE CAUSED BY A CASTING DEFECT. THE DESIGN OF TESLA SUSPENSION PARTS IS EXTREMELY WEAK. THE COMPANY HAS A TRACK RECORD OF COVERING UP DEFECTS AND SLAPPING NON DISCLOSURE AGREEMENTS ON CUSTOMERS. TESLAS HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN MANY FATAL ACCIDENTS AND THERE IS A HIGH PROBABILITY THAT MANY OF THOSE CRASHES WERE CAUSED BY MECHANICAL FAILURE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. THANK YOU. CONCERNED CITIZEN.

HERE IS A MODEL X IN THE JUNKYARD: HTTPS://WWW.IAAI.COM/VEHICLE?ITEMID=27618876&ROWNUMBER=11&LOADRECENT=TRUE THE BACK LH WHEEL HAS GONE TOTALLY WHOMPY. THE TREAD APPEARS TO BE WORN DOWN SUGGESTING THAT THE CAR DROVE FOR SOME DISTANCE WITH A DAMAGED SUSPENSION CAUSING THE TIRE TO RUB AGAINST THE BODYWORK UNTIL THE SUSPENSION FINALLY FELL TO BITS. I HAVE SEARCHED THE JUNKYARDS FOR OTHER BRANDS OF CARS THAT ARE AFFLICTED BY AS MUCH WHOMPINESS AS TESLAS BUT I CANNOT FIND ANY EXAMPLES. PLEASE BE SO KIND AS TO INVESTIGATE THIS PHENOMENON. THANK YOU. CONCERNED CITIZEN.

HERE IS A MODEL X IN THE JUNKYARD. IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN IN A COLLISION, AIR-BAGS HAVE NOT DEPLOYED AND THERE IS VERY LITTLE DAMAGE TO ANY OF THE BODY PANELS. THE SUSPENSION HAS COLLAPSED. THE FRONT RH SUSPENSION HAS TOTALLY FALLEN APART. THE TOP BALL JOINT HAS POPPED APART. THIS BALL JOINT IS MUCH TOO FLIMSY FOR A CAR OF THIS WEIGHT AND PERFORMANCE. THIS CAR IS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD SO THE FAILURE CAN NOT BE BLAMED ON POOR MAINTENANCE OR EXCESSIVE MILEAGE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE REASON WHY SO MANY LOW MILEAGE NEAR NEW TESLAS ARE HAVING SUSPENSION FAILURES. THANK YOU. CONCERNED CITIZEN.

HERE IS A MODEL X IN THE JUNKYARD: HTTPS://WWW.IAAI.COM/VEHICLE?ITEMID=26864884&ROWNUMBER=11&LOADRECENT=TRUE IT HAS NOT BEEN IN A COLLISION. THE AIR-BAGS HAVE NOT DEPLOYED. THERE IS NO IMPACT DAMAGE. THE SUSPENSION ON THE LH SIDE HAS COLLAPSED CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE BODYWORK AROUND THE WHEEL ARCHES. THIS SAME FAILURE OF SUSPENSION COLLAPSE IS HAPPENING REPEATEDLY TO TESLA CARS. IT IS VERY CONCERNING THAT INSTEAD OF REMEDYING THE PROBLEM AND REPAIRING THESE LIGHTLY DAMAGED VEHICLES THEY ARE INSTEAD BEING AUCTIONED OFF AS SALVAGE VEHICLES. NORMALLY AN EXPENSIVE CAR LIKE THIS WHICH HAS SUFFERED ONLY MINOR DAMAGE WOULD BE REPAIRED. IT WOULD APPEAR THAT TESLA IS SCARED THAT A REPAIRED VEHICLE WOULD PROBABLY FAIL AGAIN AND THAT THEY WOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. PLEASE LAUNCH A FULL INVESTIGATION INTO THE CAUSE OF THESE FAILURES. THANK YOU. CONCERNED CITIZEN.

HERE IS A MODEL X IN THE JUNKYARD: HTTPS://WWW.IAAI.COM/VEHICLE?ITEMID=26856901&ROWNUMBER=55&LOADRECENT=TRUE SUSPENSION HAS COLLAPSED ON ALL FOUR WHEELS CAUSING THE WHEELS TO JAM UP INTO THE WHEEL WELLS AND DAMAGING THE BODYWORK AROUND THE WHEEL WELLS. NO AIR-BAGS HAVE DEPLOYED. THERE IS NO COLLISION DAMAGE. THIS IS YET ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF TESLA SUSPENSION COLLAPSE CAUSED BY BAD DESIGN, SHODDY CONSTRUCTION, AND GIMMICKY SOFTWARE CONTROL OF EVERY FUNCTION IN THE CAR RIGHT DOWN TO THE RIDICULOUS DOOR HANDLES. PLEASE TAKE THIS DANGEROUS TOY AWAY FROM ITS OWNERS BEFORE MORE PEOPLE GET KILLED. THANK YOU. VERY CONCERNED CITIZEN.

URGENT. HERE IS A TESLA OWNER THAT HAS JUST POSTED A COMPLAINT ABOUT A SNAPPED BALL-JOINT ON HIS NEAR NEW MODEL X: HTTPS://TESLAMOTORSCLUB.COM/TMC/THREADS/BALL-JOINT-SEPARATION.101036/ SNIP**TEXLASX, 6 MINUTES AGO NEW MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2016 MODEL X TODAY WHEN SHE HEARD A SNAP. HER STEERING WHEEL PULLED AND SHE STRUGGLED TO CONTROL THE CAR AT ABOUT 40MPH. SHE WAS ABLE TO STOP IN THREE LANES OF TRAFFIC BUT WAS PRETTY SHOOK UP. SHE CONTACTED TESLA AND THEY TOWED THE CAR TO A SERVICE CENTER. THEY INFORMED HER THAT ONE OF THE LINKS FRACTURED CAUSING THE BALL JOINT TO SEPARATE. WE HAVE THE FRACTURED LINK (POLICE FOUND IT IN THE STREET). THE CAR ONLY HAS ABOUT 10,000 MILES ON IT, SO SEEMS UNLIKELY TO BE A WEAR-AND-TEAR ISSUE. HAS ANYONE EXPERIENCED THIS FAILURE ON THEIR CAR?** THE PHOTOGRAPH IS ATTACHED. THESE FAILURES ARE OCCURRING OVER AND OVER. THE ALLOY PARTS ARE TOO WEAK FOR THE PURPOSE. CAST ALLOY IS NOT A GOOD MATERIAL TO USE. THE EYE-HOLE WALLS ARE TOO THIN AND THE CAST ALLOY IS TOO BRITTLE. I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY NHTSA HAS NOT TAKEN ACTION OVER THESE LETHAL DEFECTS. PLEASE DO NOT DELAY ANY LONGER. THESE CARS SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR INSPECTION AND REMEDY OF THESE DEFECTS. CONCERNED CITIZEN.

HERE IS A MODEL X IN THE JUNKYARD: HTTPS://WWW.IAAI.COM/VEHICLE?ITEMID=26579014&ROWNUMBER=61&LOADRECENT=TRUE&ISNEXT=TRUE NO AIR-BAGS HAVE BEEN DEPLOYED AND THERE IS NO SIGN OF ANY COLLISION DAMAGE. THE BACK LH SUSPENSION HAS COMPLETELY SNAPPED OFF. IF THIS HAD BEEN CAUSED BY A VIOLENT SIDEWAYS COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE OR WITH A CURB THEN THE SIDE CURTRAIN AIR-BAG WOULD HAVE BEEN DEPLOYED. THIS LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER CASE OF SPONTANEOUS SNAP-OFF SUSPENSION. THE MOTOR OF THIS CAR PRODUCES SO MUCH TORQUE THAT IF A BRAKE CALIPER ON THAT WHEEL MALFUNCTIONED THE TORQUE COULD EASILY RIP OFF THOSE FRAGILE ALLOY COMPONENTS. THIS IS NOT A ONE OFF OCCURRENCE. THERE HAVE BEEN DOZENS OF SIMILAR CASES. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. THANK YOU. CONCERNED CITIZEN ACTING IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST. DATE OF INCIDENT IS AN APPROXIMATION BASED ON DATE OF VEHICLE ARRIVING IN THE JUNKYARD.

THE LATCH ON THE FALCON WING DOOR (DRIVER SIDE) CRACKED FROM ONE SIDE ON ITS OWN. DOUBT DOOR IS SECURING PROPERLY.

HERE IS ANOTHER TESLA IN THE JUNKYARD: HTTPS://WWW.COPART.COM/LOT/38498547 IT HAS BIO-HAZARD STICKERS INDICATING THAT OCCUPANTS WERE INJURED. THE FRONT TOP BALL JOINT HAS SEPARATED FROM ITS SOCKET. BOTH LOWER BALL JOINT STEMS HAVE SNAPPED. THESE ARE STEEL COMPONENTS THAT ARE STRONGER THAN THE ALLOY PARTS THEY ARE ATTACHED TO. SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG IF THE BALL AND SOCKET CAN POP APART LIKE THIS EVEN IF IT DID HAPPEN AFTER THE CRASH. THE WHEEL HAS BEEN SLICED IN HALF AS IF IT WAS MOUNTED ON A LATHE AND A CUTTING TOOL FORCED INTO THE RIM. IT LOOKS HIGHLY PROBABLE THAT THE WHEEL WAS SLICED IN HALF WHILST IT WAS STILL ROTATING AND THAT ALMOST CERTAINLY HAPPENED BEFORE THE CRASH. THERE IS NO OTHER MAKE OF CAR IN WHICH NEAR NEW CARS ARE SHOWING UP IN THE JUNKYARDS WITH BROKEN SUSPENSIONS AND SLICED WHEELS AT ANYWHERE NEAR THE FREQUENCY THAT TESLA CARS DO. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE REASONS FOR ALL THESE FAILURES. THANK YOU. PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM FILING THESE REPORTS AS A CONCERNED CITIZEN. I AM NOT A TESLA OWNER AND I AM MAKING THESE REPORTS BECAUSE I BELIEVE THERE IS A CLEAR PATTERN OF REPEATED FAILURES IN THE TESLA SUSPENSIONS. DATE OF CRASH IS AN APPROXIMATION.

HERE IS ANOTHER TESLA MODEL X IN THE JUNKYARD. HTTPS://WWW.COPART.COM/LOT/36354887/PHOTOS THE FRONT WHEEL WHEEL IS HANGING OUT SIDEWAYS. THE TOP BALL JOINT HAS POPPED APART. AS I UNDERSTAND IT IS THE JOB OF NHTSA IS TO DETECT DEFECT TRENDS AND IF THERE APPEARS TO BE A PATTERN OF FAILURE WITH A PARTICULAR CAR THEN IT SHOULD TAKE ACTION TO AVOID ENDANGERING THE PUBLIC. YOU DON'T NEED TO BE A ROCKET SCIENTIST TO SEE THAT TESLA SUSPENSIONS ARE FALLING APART AT AN EXCESSIVE RATE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. CONCERNED CITIZEN ETC. ETC.

HERE IS ANOTHER MODEL X IN THE JUNKYARD. HTTPS://WWW.COPART.COM/LOT/42424867/PHOTOS THE SUSPENSION HAS COLLAPSED. THE FRONT WHEEL IS JAMMED UP IN THE WHEEL WELL. THE LH BACK WHEEL HAS GONE TOTALLY WHOMPY AND IS LEANING OVER AT 45 DEGREES. NO AIR-BAGS HAVE DEPLOYED. THIS SAME FAILURE HAS BEEN REPORTED ON TESLAS DOZENS OF TIMES. A PHOTOGRAPH OF A BROKEN CAMBER LINK FROM ANOTHER TESLA IS ALSO SUBMITTED. THIS LINK IS SIMPLY TOO WEAK FOR SUCH A HEAVY AND POWERFUL CAR. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. CONCERNED CITIZEN ETC. DATE OF INCIDENT IS AN APPROXIMATION.

HERE IS A REPORT FROM AN OWNER THAT THE CENTRE PORTION OF THE GLASS ROOF CAME UNGLUED AND FLEW OFF WHILE HE WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY: HTTPS://TESLAMOTORSCLUB.COM/TMC/THREADS/ACCELERATION-SHUDDER.74184/PAGE-9 ***AS AN INTERESTING SIDE NOTE, I GOT A MODEL X LOANER. IT'S SIGNATURE #005. WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY I HEAR A STRANGE CRASHING SOUND AND THEN A LOT OF WIND NOISE. WHEN I GOT TO MY DESTINATION I LOOKED AROUND AND FOUND THIS. IT SEEMS THAT THIS TOP GLASS PIECE JUST FLEW OFF AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. NOT GOOD.*** THIS PIECE OF GLASS COULD EASILY HAVE KILLED SOMEONE IN ANOTHER CAR. THE CONSTRUCTION METHOD LOOKS EXTREMELY SHODDY. PLEASE INVESTIGATE.

HERE IS A TESLA MODEL X IN THE JUNKYARD: HTTPS://WWW.IAAI.COM/VEHICLE?ITEMID=25686887&ROWNUMBER=54&LOADRECENT=TRUE THE FRONT WHEEL AND SUSPENSION HAVE COMPLETELY SNAPPED OFF. NO AIR-BAGS HAVE DEPLOYED. THERE IS NO SIGN OF ANY COLLISION DAMAGE THAT WOULD EXPLAIN WHY THE WHEEL HAS SNAPPED OFF. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM NOT THE OWNER, JUST A CONCERNED CITIZEN. A DUMMY USA ADDRESS HAS BEEN USED TO COMPLY WITH YOUR WEBSITE REQUIREMENTS. MY GENUINE CONTACT DETAILS ARE CONTAINED IN THIS SUBMISSION. DATE OF INCIDENT IS AN APPROXIMATION.

THERE HAS BEEN AN INCIDENT IN WHICH THE DOORS OF A MODEL X OPENED WHILST THE CAR WAS UNOCCUPIED AND THE DRIVER'S DOOR WAS HIT BY A PASSING TRUCK: HTTP://WWW.CARADVICE.COM.AU/587189/TESLA-MODEL-X-DOOR-OPENS-AUTOMATICALLY-GETS-TORN-OFF-BY-PASSING-TRUCK/ THERE IS A DISPUTE BETWEEN TESLA AND THE OWNER WITH TESLA CLAIMING THAT THE OWNER OPENED THE DOORS WITH THE REMOTE KEY-FOB. IT CAN NOT BE CERTAIN THAT THE TESLA VERSION OF EVENTS IS CORRECT. IT IS REMARKABLE THAT IN EVERY CRASH INVOLVING A TESLA THE COMPANY CLAIMS THE LOGS PROVE IT WAS THE FAULT OF THE OWNER. EVEN IF THE CARS LOGS DID GENUINELY SHOW THAT A SIGNAL FROM A REMOTE CAUSED THE OPENING IT IS POSSIBLE THAT A FAULT IN THE KEY-FOB WAS RESPONSIBLE. TESLA KEY-FOB BATTERIES FAIL OFTEN. LOW BATTERIES IN ELECTRONIC DEVICES CAN CAUSE SPURIOUS FAULTS. TESLA HAS ONLY RECENTLY UPDATED THE SOFTWARE TO ALLOW REMOTE DOOR OPENING. I BELIEVE THAT THIS GIMMICK IS UNNECESSARY AND DANGEROUS. A PASSING CYCLIST WOULD NOT BE EXPECTING THE DOORS OF ANY EMPTY CAR TO SUDDENLY SWING OPEN. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. THANK YOU. A CONCERNED CITIZEN.

THE ENHANCED AUTOPILOT SOFTWARE DRIVES THE CAR OVER LANE LINES AND INCONSISTENTLY MAINTAINS SPEED AND BRAKING. IT IS UNSAFE.

MY TESLA MODEL X 2016 ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AFTER I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A PARKING LOT, CRASHED INTO THE FRONT OF A PEDIATRICS BUILDING. 2 INJURIES. AIRBAG WAS INFLATED.
