Petition · Address suspension issues in Tesla Model Y Juniper 2026

Tesla will tell you it’s within spec we’ve been dealing with this for 4+ years

At least for now, after 8 months I do not have these issues. Neither is my friend that bought the same car (MYJ 26, AWD)...

Sorry, my juniper doesn’t have the noise/suspension issue mentioned in the link. Good luck though.

Got my Model Y Juniper in November. Started noticing the rattle after few months. Opened a service ticket, they replaced the front control arms and issue is resolved.

Should've changed it to pre juniper

I do not have this issue.

The same happened to me and they fixed the control arms, but I think the sound is coming back now This is what they wrote in service notes “The issue was traced to the front upper control arm mounts. We replaced both the left and right front upper control arm mounts and performed an alignment check to ensure proper setup.”

The juniper has a suspension issue too

Yea the control arm fix doesn't do anything

In case anyone is curious, here's 139 pages of users talking about the issue: [https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/2026-model-y-suspension-rattle.343652/page-139](https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/2026-model-y-suspension-rattle.343652/page-139) I've had it since the first week I bought it. Also, another post awhile ago about this has the sound in the video: [https://www.reddit.com/r/TeslaSupport/comments/1m6dd3d/any\_juniper\_owners\_have\_a\_suspension\_rattle\_like/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=mweb3x&utm\_name=post\_embed&utm\_term=1](https://www.reddit.com/r/TeslaSupport/comments/1m6dd3d/any_juniper_owners_have_a_suspension_rattle_like/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=post_embed&utm_term=1)

Ah, so then no one else does either. Problem solved!

> I don’t have social media  Anything further you have to say is tainted by that counterfactual statement.

Some do. Most dont. To make a change petition that a whopping 6 people have signed shows this is better handled with your service center.

It was just created, bozo. 139 pages of posts on the TMC forum would suggest many people have the issue [https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/2026-model-y-suspension-rattle.343652/page-139](https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/2026-model-y-suspension-rattle.343652/page-139)

Those who say they don't have the issue on their Juniper, you probably do have it.

Pretty sure most people have this issue on their Juniper. Some just don't notice it or think it's normal suspensions noises. I've asked a buddy and he said he doesn't have it. I test drove his and it definitely has it.

Definitely not rare. And yes, Juniper suspension is way better than prior Y, but the issue is prevalent enough that the Tesla techs have a name for it. They also have a new part number for control arm mounts which doesn't fix the issue. So yes, Tesla knows of the issue. They're just too focused on cybercabs, robots and kicking the HW3 can down the road to fix issues plaguing their customers.

Is this the weird clunking noise I hear in the front?

I have not heard of this. Issue from specific factory?

Nothing ever happen with the older MYs suspension issues. Doubt anything will happen now. I was just charged $4000 for my front suspension. Car was squealing with every turn and even just shaking the car it would squeal. Turns out to be my Ball joints and some compliance suspension bar or something. Damn it was expensive…

What is new with tesla shoddy quality control? They also have massive issues with premature control arms failing in the older model 3 and Y models.

That’s the hubcaps. It’s really annoying

Same. The only noise mime makes is a squeak when closing the rear driver side door. That seems related to the window. Now I'm wondering if I should get that fixed. Normally I wouldn't but people here seem determined to get the most out of their warranty

Hubcaps really? it sounds like it’s coming from the frunk/strut

Honestly it could be. I had a similar sounding issue and I found someone on reddit saying if you put felt padding behind the hubcap it would stop. It worked for me.

Most likely. I had a clunk over small bumps and had my control mounts replaced

I don’t have Reddit so I will downvote you! /s

I thought the suspension issue was pre-Juniper, and replacement mitigates the issue. But apparently this is a 5+ year old problem that they haven’t addressed?

Mine rattles on the front drivers side on take off/ low speed and unrelated my drivers seat also makes noise. I really should book it in as it did it from delivery. (Got mine in August) Shame that I have the old warranty as well comparative to the new one.

This should be changed to address crap suspension in any Tesla Y that isn’t a Juniper.

I thought people were retrofitting the Juniper suspension onto older models because it was so much better? Is it worse? For the record, my first gen 2018 M3 also had the control arms replaced so this isn’t really a new issue.

No, not all seem to develop it. At least not yet. I would believe that they all have the defect and may develop it eventually, but I have several that I have access to on a daily basis and only one has the issue.

Ah, the old “sign this petition that does nothing but makes people feel good about themselves “.

Same

Make a petition for it 😂

I’ve had mine since April last year, and I’ve never heard anything. Going on 21,000 miles. I like the suspension.

Yes. Wife and I have owned 3 different model y’s pre- juniper. Each one has had to have the control arms and lateral links replaced, and my current 24 needs them again. All failed between 5 and 15 thousand miles.

What’s the name the techs have for it?

Let's fix 2020-2023 too 😜😂😭

The suspension is so good. It really sold me on the car

It is mine has the same issue and I have no hubcaps on the car. It’s believed to be the front upper control arm mounts but doesn’t seem replacing them is a guaranteed fix? Not 100% sure

No, this issue is specifically for Juniper owners. Retrofitting Juniper coils and dampers to legacy Model Y doesn’t bring with it this issue. Seems to be related to the front chassis or mounts.

This was my issue, you can hear the creaking sound in the video [https://www.reddit.com/r/TeslaModelY/s/rXNsaBkpO0](https://www.reddit.com/r/TeslaModelY/s/rXNsaBkpO0)

I can say that what I have is my first and last Tesla. The suspension is the worst and on top of it the control arms problem that keeps coming up which always gets a Royal treatment (sarcastic) at the service. Can’t fight the battle anymore :(

Do you have to pay to sign the petition?

Same

The suspension definitely isn’t “good” I don’t have the issue but the suspension sways like a drunken toddler (body roll) and isn’t exactly smooth over road imperfections

How the fuck they keep using that crappy Korean supplier

"the Juniper rattle"

I hope you didn't tell your friend. If you did, you just screwed him up..... He will hear it forever now. 😆

Crazy. Haven’t noticed this one out 2026 Y AWD.

I those these were addressed?

Had my 26 since end of December, they replaced suspension components a couple weeks ago, and now I'm hearing it again. Unreal

The only squeak im getting are the breaks when I need them. 😜

So I shouldn’t retro the juniper suspension in my 2022 MYP????

What do u mean old warranty vs new warranty ?

I’m based in Australia My car has 5 years 80,000kms. This year they are now offering 5 years unlimited kms

Isnt this noise gets worse while driving in rear gear?
