Example complaints
Engine: “We have 3 or more of these Polaris vehicles that are stalling. The dealer can not figure it out and Polaris refuses to help us from the ceo down. This is a huge safety hazard since here in arizona they are on the highway and when stalled we almost had someone killed. We have at least 3 that are doing this and after replacing almost everything they still do it with no avenue for help we are turning to you. The vehicles stall when on the city and state highways. Some one or multiple people are going to be killed from this and the company does not seem to care.”
