Affected Years: 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 Tesla Model S. Our law firm is also investigating 2025, 2026 Tesla Model S for the same issues.
These issues seem to arise from defects in the Air Suspension Components.
Most of today’s vehicles depend on computers and sensors for all manner of things. Updates to software running these features are an important part of the maintenance program. From the speed or function of the engine to getting information about mileage, what the driver receives is only as good as the hardware that is feeding data to the software. Loss of luxury features like the backup camera, tire pressures, or outside temperature is far from critical. But when the system is telling you how fast you might be going, it needs to be accurate to ensure your safety and that you are not going to get a ticket for speeding. Not only do we depend on auto technology, but we also need it to be correct.
When you discover that your Tesla Model S suspension system is not functioning correctly because of a component issue, you are going to end up at the dealer. The creaks and sounds coming from the suspension don’t sound normal at all. When you are dealing with the issues that can impact the functionality or safety of the car, you know it is time to get a hold of the dealership and get these issues fixed. The thought process is simple. The manufacturer built the vehicle and understands the tech, so they are sure to be able to easily correct the issues. But after a few attempts, if you still don’t see the issue fixed completely, you might start to wonder if you are the owner of a lemon.

Lemon Laws In The State Of California
Lemon Laws were created to protect consumers when manufacturers were unable to or unwilling to honor the express warranty promised when you purchased your new vehicle. The Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act was signed into law in 1971. Many people have never heard of that name, but they know it as the California Lemon Law. For over 50 years, it has remained the core of the Lemon Law. If your vehicle isn’t working and Tesla cannot get it fixed, there are a few conditions that, if present, qualify the vehicle for a claim under California Lemon Law. Guardian Lemon Law will provide a case detailed evaluation to help you confirm that your vehicle meets the qualifications, the repair issue meets its requirements, and that the Statue of Limitations has not expired. When you want to know if your vehicle is eligible, please do not wait to reach out to Guardian Lemon Law.
The Case Review And Important Documentation
At Guardian Lemon Law, we begin with a review of the documentation that comes with every vehicle purchase. Knowing the date of purchase and delivery establishes eligibility, so we can begin talking about the documentation that contains the information showing the repair efforts, and many of the other facts that will be needed for your Lemon Law claim, and if necessary, your lawsuit. They include:
- The records of vehicle repairs with dates and times for drop off and pickup, clearly documenting the issue that is the basis of your claim
- Any correspondence between you and the dealer during the dealership repair efforts
- Your out-of-pocket expenses related to the vehicle repair problems and your claim

The Qualifications For Lemon Law Claims In California
Many Tesla Model S owners find the list of the vehicle and failure qualifications below to be difficult to validate. A key part of any Lemon Law claim is that the vehicle repair attempts have been for the same exact issue, and all of the work has been completed without delivering a permanent resolution. The question of what constitutes a reasonable repair effort might be considered subjective, but there are minimums on that subject. The qualifications are:
- The manufacturer’s warranty or certified pre-owned warranty must be in effect during the initial report of the problem and remain in effect for all repair attempts
- The owner of the vehicle has not operated the vehicle in a manner that causes or contributes to the reported problem
- Reasonable attempts have been made to repair the issue, defined by the Lemon Law as a minimum of 2 attempts for any safety-related issue, and at least 4 attempts for issues that are non-safety related
- The vehicle has been unavailable to you for a total of 30 days or more in aggregate because of this same unresolved issue
- The issue with the vehicle impacts the safe operation, use, or value of the vehicle

How Long Do I Have To file The Claim?
The Lemon Law in California sets the time limit on filing a lawsuit or claim. It is the earliest of two dates relating to your vehicle purchase and delivery. The first date is one year from the expiration of the vehicle’s factory warranty. The second date is six years from the date you took delivery from the dealer.

The Symptoms And Solutions Of The 2021 – 2024 Tesla Model S Suspension Noise Issues
When you are the owner of a 2021 – 2024 Tesla Model S and suffering repeated trips to the dealer, it’s annoying. It is unexpected, as well as inconvenient. The owners are reporting many significant issues with their Tesla Model S suspension, which has them dealing with the following sounds and symptoms:
Front suspension creaking – Audible during steering, often caused by worn or defective front upper control arm bushings and ball joints, particularly in colder or wet weather
Low-speed clicking or popping – Often blamed on issues with the front stabilizer links (sway bar links) or CV joints, especially when turning
Rear suspension noises – Creaking or clunking from the rear is most often identified as a rear traction arm failure, where the bushing is separating from the steel arm
Heavy rattling sound – Sharp, metallic clunks over small bumps can indicate issues with shock absorbers or loose undertrays/bolts
Diagnosis of this type of issue can be done by taking a look at tire wear. If you are having suspension components fail, the tires will begin to wear unevenly. The solution is, of course, to replace the failing control arm or component, which is typically done under warranty. Do not forget to replace the tires that were showing wear as well. It can be overlooked sometimes. The team at Guardian Lemon Law will provide you with a Tesla Model S suspension noise/defects lemon lawyer if the manufacturer cannot get this problem corrected.
