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.

PIAGGIO BV500 THROTTLE CABLE FREEZES WHEN TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 30 DEGREES. THE CABLE MAY GET STUCK IN THE OPEN POSITION(FULL OR PARTIAL SPEED) WHILE MOVING SHORTLY AFTER MOVING THE BIKE. I HAVE WAITED 15-20 MINUTES FOR THE CABLE TO DEFROST AS IT IS ABOVE THE RADIATOR, AND DRIVEN A FEW BLOCKS AND THE CABLE REFROZE AS THE WIND COOLED OFF THE CABLE. VERY DANGEROUS! BE CAREFUL OUT THERE. *TR

THIS IS FOR A 2007 PIAGGIO BV500 SCOOTER. THE SCOOTER HAS A TENDENCY TO STALL AT IDLE OR LOW SPEEDS. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM RELATED TO THE FUEL PUMP. IT IS CREATING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC. I HAD A VERY CLOSE CALL WHERE THE SCOOTER STALLED WHILE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE BEFORE ENTERING THE ROAD. *JB

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.
