Same exact issue as NHTSA ID: 23V235000 but for some reason my VIN is not part of the recall. Had to get it repaired by Tesla and paid out of pocket.
A bolt in the control arms of my Model 3 broke. I took it in for repair. They blamed me for hitting the bottom of the car. They changed both upper and lower control arms and charged me about $500 for it. This is a major safety problem that Tesla doesn’t accept the blame for, even though I have s...

Safety restraint system fault RCM_a094
I was notified by Tesla in early 2022 of recall 21V-00D for a safety issue. I have asked several times to have it fixed. As of August 18, 2023 it is still not fixed and Tesla is still claiming that the parts are not available.

If this is true, the bolt could come loose during an accident and cause the seatbelt to not restrain a passenger if ...

Phantom braking is extremely dangerous and a cause for disaster! While in Autopilot, it will unexpectedly brake while driving on the freeway. This causes a jerk to the human body and cause a possible rear end accident. This is quite frequent.

Constant phantom breaking while using cruise control, autopilot or FSD. A reoccurring problem that happens more and more often.
My Tesla 3 suddenly braked while driving on the road from about 40 mph to 10 mph. There was nothing obstructing my car from the front or sides. It was a scary experience. My neck was jolted forward and the seatbelt pressed very tightly against my chest. I immediately scheduled for service with Tesla...

Every time we have it on autopilot on the tollway, we experience phantom braking at the same location regardless if we are going south or north. It is dangerous if there is a car behind us.
Going down an undivided single lane each way roadway at 55 MPH car suddenly hard braked and car behind me almost hit me.

The horn has failed and been replaced twice in three years. The problem is the placement and design which leads to water getting in and causing corrosion.
