It looks like you didn’t link all of those parts to the root(body part) of your model before you exported. Which modeling software are you using, btw? ---

Make sure all the parts of the car is joined in blender to a parent object or is one piece select everything by hitting (A) ones or twice then hit Ctrl + J will join it as one mesh. If this answered your question please select this comment as the answer as it will help others to find a fix to the same problem ---

theres basically two options: you can do like C4chaos answered below and join all the bits in the modeling program. or you could change the import settings, theres a option for combine meshes. if you check combine meshes it will import all the bits as one mesh (or at least it should). ![274200-capture.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/7/5/e/75e4c5a3261662fc42693fbbe84fa85b219e1cd6.png) ---
