Complaints on fileComplaints 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 DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH ON A 65 MPH POSTED ZONE IN N.J. MOTORCYCLE COMPLETELY TURNED OFF DUE TO FAULTY FUEL GAUGE READING ALMOST CAUSING CAR BEHIND ME TO CRASH INTO ME. AFTER RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET IT COMES TO LIGHT THAT HARLEY DAVIDSON HAS HAD AN ISSUE WITH THESE FUEL CELL GAUGES ALL ALONG AND REFUSES TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THEM AFTER THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED EVEN THOUGH THEY KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM. BEWARE OF YOUR FUEL LEVELS BY VISUALLY CONFIRMING LEVEL IN GAS TANK AND NOT BY THE LEVEL INDICATED ON LCD FUEL DISPLAY. IT FLUCTUATES UP AND DOWN NEVER GIVING THE CORRECT FUEL LEVEL INFO. SCARY SITUATION THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP BY HARLEY. RECALL IS IN ORDER BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED OR INJURED. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 HARLEY DAVIDSON VRSCSE2 AND HAVE NOT HAD MY FUEL GAUGE WORKING AT ALL. TOOK IT AT THE DEALER AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND IS COVERED BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. UNFORTUNATELY, THEY SAID THEY ARE STILL WAITING FOR HD FOR A FIX. APPARENTLY, THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE FOR ALL HARLEY DAVIDSON V ROD MOTORCYLES. *TR
