Example complaints
Tires: “My rear tire ply is delaminating which has caused an uneveness in the shape of the tire, causing it to exhibit an irregular surface that effects handling (particularly while cornering). I was advised by a local dealer (milpitas Honda) that this problem is commonly caused by driving with low tire pressure. I have kept my pressure at 41 PSI (the recommended pressure). I have heard from others that this is a very common problem with these tires and that dunlop has refused to warranty the tire.. Even when it has happened to owners with as few as 1800 miles. …”
NHTSA complaint #706961, filed 1999-05Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors): “The tall windscreen from Honda has an optical defect that causes distortion looking through the screen. This is amplified if there is any vibration of the windscreen during normal operation. The resulting distortion can cause the operator to misjudge obstacle distance or traffic conditions.”
NHTSA complaint #537102, filed 1998-06Vehicle speed control: “When attempting to accelerate the motorcycle took off, sudden acceleration, causing unwanted speed, and resulting in loss of vehicle control. Driver was ejected from the motorcycle. Also, motorcycle did not not shift. Please provide any further details.”
