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.

ON 6/13/2012 I WAS DRIVING MY 2008 BURGMAN AN650 AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH IN NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS ON A PAVED HIGHWAY WHEN THE SCOOTER SUDDENLY LOST MOMENTUM YET THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO OPERATE NORMALLY. UPON CLOSURE EXAMINATION, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE SCOOTER WOULD REQUIRE SERVICING. HAD TRAFFIC CONDITIONS BEEN HEAVIER, THE INCIDENT COULD HAVE PROVEN TO BE FATAL. ON 6/20/2012 I WROTE SUZUKI CORP TO INFORM THEM OF THE PROBLEM IN DETAIL. IN A RESPONSE DATED 7/25/2012, SUZUKI MADE IT CLEAR THEY WILL NOT PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE. A MECHANICAL INSPECTION PERFORMED BY THE BY THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE SCOOTER FROM HAS ADVISED THAT THE ACTUATOR GEARS HAD FAILED AND WILL COST ABOUT $1,800 TO REPAIR. THE SCOOTER IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP PENDING DETERMINATION OF ITS FATE. THE BIKE HAS LESS THAN 17,500 MILES. IN MY OPINION THESE SCOOTERS SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR *JS

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.
