Example complaints

Brakes: “Front brake becomes hard and cannot squeeze to stop. Fluid has been changed in accordance with maintenance schedule every two years. This first occurred while operating on the highway during rush hour traffic. This model is equipped with ABS. I believe there is a sticky valve in the ABS control module. A standard braking system without ABS would not have this problem.”

Engine: “The contact owns a 2013 Harley-Davidson FLHX motorcycle. When the motorcycle clutch was engaged to start the engine, the motorcycle failed to accelerate. The contact had to engage the start switches several times to engage acceleration. The contact also stated that the engine warning light illuminated while driving and the motorcycle decelerated. The motorcycle was taken to the dealer several times for the failure. A diagnostic was performed that was unable to locate a failure code; however, the dealer replaced the electronic control module, the twist grip sensor, and the speed sensor. …”
