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.

MY 1987 SUZUKI 1400 INTRUDER HAS RECENTLY SPRUNG A LEAK IN THE REAR AREA OF THE WELD SEAM. NOT ONLY IS IT DAMAGING TO THE FRONT PART OF MY SEAT, BUT, MOST IMPORTANTLY, IT IS LEAKING GAS DOWN ON MY ENGINE, WHICH IS "VERY" HAZARDOUS! *JB I HAVE CONTACTED SUZUKI, BUT WAS INFORMED THAT THEY WILL NOT COVER MY 1987 MOTORCYCLE, ALTHOUGH IT IS A WELD SEAM DEFECT, BUT WILL SELL ME A NEW GAS TANK FOR $447.15. THERE HAVE BEEN NO FATALITIES, FAILURES, INJURIES, FIRES, CRASHES, NOR DAMAGES OR REPORTS TO THE POLICE YET! PLEASE HELP RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM!!! *JB

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.
