Example complaints

2007: “My 2007 harleydavidson Flstf (fat boy) was engineered with a defect (front wheel is designed 3/4 off center between the fork tubes) which leaves the motorcycle prone to high speed wobble and to drift off center at moderate speeds. A high speed wobble can be deadly on a motorcycle. I almost crashed.”

2000: “Vehicle stalled while driving at any speed without warning. Dealership serviced the vehicle 4 times, but was unable to locate the cause of the stalling. Also, at 5,000 miles vehicle had a gas leak. The source or cause of the leak was undetermined.”
