Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My Victory V92C has 7,000 miles on it and has lost 4th gear completely. It started by slipping into a false neutral once in a while and now has completely lost 4th gear. Repair shop tells me that this is a huge and very common problem with these bikes and that Victory will not recall them. They even said that the rear wheel could lock up and cause an accident.”
NHTSA complaint #10223696, filed 2008-04, 7,000 miles“On several occasions my 1999 Victory V92C has miss shifted, popped into a false neutral, sometimes when going through intersections, and the shifter has locked in the up position, requiring me to push it back down before I could continue up-shifting . This is annoying and potentially dangerous in traffic. The transmission also has a seriously noticeable clunk sound when shifting.”
NHTSA complaint #10152352, filed 2006-03, 15,000 miles“We are the third owners of a 99 Victory touring cruiser. The transmission clunked upon purchase and we were unsure if this was common to this bike. We have just had a replacement kit installed at a great expense. We were never injured on this bike but caught it just before major problems happened to it.”
NHTSA complaint #10171120, filed 2006-10, 34,175 miles“I had to down shift to fourth gear n I tried to accelerate but the engine was revving high and I was slowing down the cause of it was that I lost fourth gear and it rattles really loud. I went to the dealer and its a 3500 fix and I know I am not the only one that had this problem so why should I have to fix it if I own there product. It should work like it should if they are selling it not have to kept dumping money into a problem that's their problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10244361, filed 2008-10, 23,800 miles“I have a 1999 Victory V92C. And now at 23,000 I have lost 4th gear when shifting from 3rd up. I see that there have been many, many complaints about this problem with the early models from Victory. Victory offered to pay for half the cost of parts but nothing for labor costs. This offer ended 10-07. I purchased my V92C in june of 2008. It seems that Victory knows there is definitely a problem or they would not make the offer at all. If that is the case why are they not being held 100% responsible like other vehicle manufacturers.”
