Example complaints

Brakes: “I had been riding for under five minutes, city traffic, speed limit 25mph. As I slowed for a turning car my rear brake failed by the pedal locking. I controlled the stop and returned home. I've now been told the ABS control module has failed and the repair cost are to be around 900.00. I find it incredibly hard to believe that a module failure defaults to a total lack of brakes! One might be inclined to think youd lose ABS function, not total braking!”

Transmission and drivetrain: “My 2010 Harley-Davidson Flhtc, after only 1025 miles, experienced a serious mechanical break down in the transmission. The main shaft broke. This is a major component to the operation of this vehicle. I have been riding motorcycles (mainly harleys) for the past 34 years and have never had something like this happen on a bike after thousands of miles, let alone on one that was only a month old. I was lucky that when it broke, I was stopped at my mail box. If this would have occurred on the highway at greater speeds, it would have been disastrous. …”

NHTSA complaint #10343700, filed 2010-07, 1,025 miles

Electrical system: “I was traveling 55 MPH in 5th gear when my motorcycle suddenly stopped accelerating, and the check-engine light came on. The vehicle automatically went into limp-mode and would not travel any faster than 25 MPH. I was near a service station, so I pulled over and stopped. I was able to return home traveling 25 MPH, as frustrated cars followed close behind me. My harley dealership confirmed the problem was caused by faulty wiring that triggered the limp-mode sensor.”
