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 2004 KAWASAKI EX250, HOLE IN THE GAS TANK DUE TO THE LENGTH OF THE SCREW PROVIDED BY THE MANUFACTURER. I HAVE GIVEN IT TO A DEALER, BUT DO NOT THINK THAT THEY WILL GET AN APPROVAL FROM KAWASAKI TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK. I WOULD LIKE TO PETITION TO FILE MY CASE WITH NHTSA. *AK I AM A NEW, BEGINNER MOTORCYCLE RIDER, THUS DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT MOTORCYCLES TO BEGIN WITH. EVER SINCE I HAVE BEEN RIDING ON THE MOTORCYCLE, I OFTEN DID SMELL GASOLINE, AND OFTEN MY EYES BURNED AFTER RIDING THE MOTORCYCLE. I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT AND THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS THE TYPICAL FEELING AFTER RIDING A MTORCYCLE, BUT IT TURNS OUT THAT SMALL TRACES OF GASOLINE HAS BEEN LEAKING FROM IT EVER SINCE I HAD OWNED THE MOTORCYCLE (APPROX. 2 MONTHS). I BOUGHT THE USED MOTORCYCLE, THUS AM A SECOND OWNER. REGARDLESS, THERE WAS A FLAW IN THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS OF THE MOTORCYCLE AND IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY THE DEALER/MANUFACTURER. WHAT MORE CAN I DO TO MAKE SURE THAT I GET PROPER TREATMENT FORM KAWASAKI USA?

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.
