While driving and turning at low speeds (such as parking), the front end began emitting a loud mechanical clicking and popping sound.  A certified technician diagnosed the vehicle and found that multiple critical suspension components had failed or worn prematurely at just 55,089 miles. The failures include the front lower lateral links, front lower compliance links, front upper control arms, stabilizer bar and front end hubs failing completely and simultaneously.  This is a well-documented issue among 2018–2020 Model 3 vehicles and is currently the subject of an active NHTSA Preliminary Evaluation investigation regarding front lower lateral link detachment. Premature failure of these load-bearing suspension components compromises the vehicle’s structural integrity, accelerates extreme tire wear, and presents an immediate risk of component separation or sudden loss of steering control at high speeds. Tesla should issue a safety recall for these defective suspension components and compensate owners for out-of-pocket repairs.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2020","productMake":"TESLA","productModel":"MODEL 3","manufacturer":"Tesla, Inc."}]}]}
