Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“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. …”
