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.

WHILE PULLING INTO THE GAS STATION THE TRUNK PART OF THE TOURING PACKAGE FELL OFF. THE PART INCLUDES THE BACK PASSENGER SEAT, THE SPEAKERS AND THE TRUNK THAT SITS ON THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. CONSUMER CALLED THE HARLEY SHOP WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. THEY HAD DONE A PRE-CONSIGNMENT INSPECTION BEFORE SELLING THE VEHICLE TO THE CONSUMER. THE HARLEY SHOP IS NOT HELPING CONSUMER TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. *JG
