Owner-reported complaints filed with NHTSA, grouped by component

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

THE REAR BRAKE IS INEFFECTIVE AT ANY SPEED. THE BLEEDER SCREW IS ON THE BOTTOM OF THE CALIPER AND IT MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO PROPERLY BLEED. THE BRAKE LINE LEADING TO THE CALIPER IS TOO CLOSE TO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER CAUSING THE FLUID IN THE LINE TO BOIL. I'VE DONE EVERYTHING I CAN THINK OF TO FIX THESE ISSUES BUT THE BRAKE IS STILL INEFFECTIVE.

THE REAR BRAKE BECOMES USELESS AFTER BLEEDING BY THE DEALER. THEY TESTED THE SYSTEM AND REPORTED IT HOLDS PRESSURE WITH NO ISSUE YET AFTER TIME TYPICALLY WITHIN 12 MONTHS THE BRAKE FAILURE OCCURS. THE ONLY REASONING GIVEN IS DESIGN WITH LOCATION TOO CLOSE TO THE HEAT SOURCE. THESE BIKES ARE NOT ENTRY LEVEL SO IT ONLY DUE TO THE EXPERIENCE OF THE RIDERS THERE HAS NOT BEEN A FATALITY DUE TO NO REAR BRAKE.

Too few reports in this category for a page of its own — they appear in the full complaint list.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
