Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I have been operating this motorcycle for 11 months. THREE times, I have accidentally turned the engine off while in city traffic. The on/off switch has a lever which extends too close to the throttle. When wearing gloves it is way too easy to accidentally turn the motorcycle off. The engine stops instantly; tail light, brake light, and, headlight will remain on for another 5 seconds or so.”

NHTSA complaint #11697947, filed 2025-11

“Fourth time this has happened to me. Driving 65 mph on interstate 4, accidentally turned off the motorcycle. Scared the piss out of me in all that traffic when bike shut off and was slowing down.”

NHTSA complaint #11708949, filed 2026-01

“The vehicle engine shuts down at highway speed. The dealer has made three attempts to correct this issue, but it has not been successfully corrected. While operating the vehicle, the engine simply turns off. I demanded to see the engine codes and found the motorcycle's run circuit malfunctions causing the engine to turn off. I was told by the dealer's lead mechanic at the dealer that any electrical issue with any part of the vehicle would cause the entire system to shut down. This has happened on multiple occasions very nearly leading to my death in each instance. …”

NHTSA complaint #11734622, filed 2026-04
