2014 Tesla Model S Wheels Problems

“Because the computer in the Tesla Model S from 2014 was broken, the car was very low in suspension. Tesla knew about it in may 2020, but did not offer a repair even if I paid $2,500. Eventually the frame of the car touched the rear passenger side and the tire exploded and the wheel was so low that is bent the frame and big pieces of the frame of the car as the base of the car was touching the street. The car was deemed a total and my compensation from aaa did not even allow me to buy a used Model S. …”

“I was driving on the freeway going approximately 60mph when I suddenly lost control on a slight turn to transfer freeways. I swiped into the right freeway wall and spun out doing a complete 180 and ended up on the left freeway wall. I didn't understand how I lost control when I was not going that fast, and the turn was not at all abrupt nor severe in angle. The side airbags were deployed, and when I exited the vehicle, the rear right tire and axle was completely dislodged. I never seen anything like it, and I couldn't understand how that would happen.”

“Lug nuts securing wheels to the car have a metal cover. This metal cover is distorting and coming loose. You have to use a socket that is one size larger in order to remove the lug nuts to service the wheel. The original size socket stated in the manual no longer fits because this metal cover over the lug nut is distorted.”

“The instrument control screen is failing as the glass is separating from the glass and unable to view icons on the panel. Telsa is not going to replace unless 1500 is paid for replacement with updated screen that does not separate from the glass. Some people are reporting it as bubbling or impression of water marks behind the glass but it is the glue failing. This is a known issue. For the wheel issue, the TPMS system is failing and telsa will not replace unless 1k is paid to upgrade the system.”

“While driving, my back wheel fell off. I had the car in for suspension work twice in Q4 2023, and then on March 7, 2024 my back wheel fell off. When speaking with Tesla, they said that this sometimes happens and they have seen this issue before. The also told me that they think it only happens at low speeds, but I have found articles where people were on the highway and their wheel fell off. China has made Tesla do a recall for suspension and wheel issues, why haven't we? I now have had my vehicles suspension worked on at least 4 times, this is dangerous and scary.”
