2016 Polaris Slingshot Suspension Problems

“I was coming out of a round a bout intersection in the city, where I had to make a right turn into it and and a right turn out of it. Just as I came out of the turn, there was a jolt and as if I'd been hit from the side in rear. I was able to steer out of it and into a parking lot that was right there. I was only moving at 30 MPH when the swing arm snapped from the stress of the turn. If this happened on the highway or on a mountain road, I may well have been killed.”

“Rear wheel bearings have went out on two occasions, the cross over drive has went out once, Polaris is wanting to replace the cross over drive again and the dealership is waiting on new swing arm assembly...dealers have received a no sale order nation wide for Slingshot! The problems all occurred while operating at high and low speeds on the free way and city streets while in traffic...the vehicle is a clear safety hazard.”

“The contact owns a 2016 Polaris Slingshot. When the vehicle was taken in for routine maintenance, the technician stated that the universal coupling was loose. The yoke needed replacement as metal flakes were in the gear box. The contact stated that the independent mechanic was able to tighten the brackets, but the bolts fractured. The contact stated that the york, universal coupling, and gear box were not repaired. The vehicle was not taken to a Polaris dealer as the local dealer was sold. The closet dealer was almost 300 miles away. …”
