Example complaints

“While exiting a town I accelerated to highway speed then my engine stalled out and went into limp-home mode not allowing any more than an idle, very dangerous. Luckily I was not passing anyone or riding in a group when the engine lost all acceleration, worse would have been trying to cross a busy intersection. Certain disaster!!”
