Tesla sued over alleged suspension failure in fatal Florida crash:
San Francisco — Tesla has been sued over an alleged suspension failure in a crash that killed the driver and a passenger in Florida last year and sparked a federal probe.
The lawsuit said that four days before the accident in September, the driver, Nicholas G. Garcia, brought the vehicle to a Tesla Store due to problems with"controllability/steering, suspension, battery and electronic system, and an ability to open the doors."The National Transportation Safety Board, which is probing the accident, said in a preliminary report in November that the car was speeding before crashing into two trees and catching fire.
The vehicle's under-body struck the roadway after going over a"hump" in the center of an intersection, according to the police report seen by Reuters. The driver lost control and drove off the roadway before the collision.
