2008 Harley-Davidson Fxdwg Fuel system Problems

“My 2008 harley davidson night rod vrod. Fuel gauge does not work. It hasn't worked since the day I bought the bike. There are more broken gauges than working ones on this model of bike. Harley throws random parts and never fixes the real problem.”

“My gas gauge has never worked properly. It will go to empty and stay there with 1/2 tank of gas, until I cut the power of and back on it will reset to I/2 tanks for a short period of time. Have replaced sending until 3 time . Harley will not do anything to fix the problem. The problem has been on all v-rod since 2003 the first year they came out. Need someone help. If it was a car the would have fixed the problem with a recall. I have had to wall one time to get gas.”

“Engine almost died while pulling out into rush hour traffic. Real bad mis-fire with spitting and sputtering. Took to shop and was told that it has a cracked fuel line fitting. I read a forum and learned that this is a serious problem and there is no safety recall. This could potentially cause a death. My harley davidson road king classic is an 2008 model that I have has less than a month and have about 2400 miles on it. I am concerned since there is no recall that this will happen again and might have a grim outcome.”

“On sunday july 6 2008 I was traveling southbound on interstate 95 around port st lucy in the middle lane at about 70 MPH when my 2008 flhtcu just died for no apparent reason fortunately I was able to make it over to the shoulder of the road without incident I did a search of this sort of problem and found many similar ones but with no recall notice from harley davidson ,I did bring it to the dealer and they said they were aware of the problem in the fuel system and that they would order the parts ,I feel that this could have been a much worse scenario had the been no way for me to pull over…”

“Ait aprox 1,800 miles, my 2008 harley davidson flhtc experienced a failure of the fuel filter shell while I was riding the motorcycle. I was exiting interstate 65 south in brentwood, tn and upon attempting to accelerate from the exit, I was almost hit from behind by a car. The motorcycle gave no warning/indication of a problem. Upon attempting trough the exit ramp. The bike sputtered and almost stopped, while the automobiles behind me locked up their brakes trying to avoid me. I was able to make it home after suffering intermittent sputtering and the bike has remained in my garage since then. …”
