NHTSA complaint: 2017 TESLA MODEL S — SUSPENSION
PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM NOT THE OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE SEARCHED YOUR DATABASE AND IT SEEMS THE ACTUAL OWNER HAS NOT FILED A COMPLAINT. THIS CAR IS IN A SALVAGE AUCTION YARD. IT HAS A SNAPPED SUSPENSION BALL JOINT. HTTPS://WWW.IAAI.COM/VEHICLE?ITEMID=28233521&ROWNUMBER=1&LOADRECENT=TRUE ONE OF YOUR INVESTIGATORS HAS EMAILED ME TO SAY THAT IT IS PREFERRED THAT THE ACTUAL OWNER MAKES THE COMPLAINT. WOULD YOU PLEASE ADVISE WHETHER IT IS LEGITIMATE TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT AS A NON-OWNER AND IF SO WHETHER IT WILL BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY OR DISMISSED AS IRRELEVANT. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE OWNER OF ANOTHER CAR WITH A BROKEN SUSPENSION HAS SO FAR NOT FILED A COMPLAINT HIMSELF DESPITE THERE BEING EVIDENCE OF A DEFECT THAT MAY AFFECT OTHER TESLAS.
