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 VESPA GTS SUPER 300CC HAS 2600 MILES AND THE WATER PUMP HAS FAILED. I BOUGHT IT USED AT SCUDERIA IN SAN FRANCISCO. THEY KNEW THIS SCOOTER HAD A BAD WATER PUMP BUT DID NOT DISCLOSE IT BECAUSE IT HAD ALREADY LEAKED ONTO THE MUFFLER PIPE AS CLEARLY SHOWN IN A PIC ON THE AD ON THEIR WEB SITE. I DID NOT KNOW WHAT THAT STAIN WAS UNTIL AFTER I BOUGHT IT AND PUT 200 MILES ON IT. I TOOK IT IN FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AFTER I COMPLAINED ABOUT THE STENCH FROM THE COOLANT ATOMIZING ON THE HOT MUFFLER PIPE IMMEDIATELY AND THEY REITERATED IT'S COMING FROM THE WEEP HOLE. IT'S NOT - AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM. THEY ARE REFUSING TO FIX IT UNLESS I PAY THEM A $1000+ FOR THE JOB. INITIALLY, THEY HAD OFFERED ME A CONTRACT WITH AEGIS WHICH I REFUSED BECAUSE HE STATED THE SHOP HAD A 90 DAY WARRANTY. BUT, AS IT TURNS OUT, THEIR SHOP WARRANTY WAS HOOKED INTO AEGIS WITHOUT TELLING ME. THIS CONTRACT THEY OFFERED WITH AEGIS DOES NOT COVER WATER PUMPS. I WILL BE OUT ANOTHER 1K FOR NOT KNOWING IT WAS THE WATER PUMP. IT'S VERY UPSETTING TO ME. EVEN AFTER COMPLAINING INCLUDING A DIAGNOSTIC, DID THEY MAKE CLEAR AND SEND ME THEIR 90 DAY SHOP WARRANTY WHICH THEN MORPHED INTO A WARRANTY-POLICY WITH AEGIS. I STILL NEED TO GET THIS ISSUE FIXED. I AM NOW COVERED BY AEGIS FOR 90 DAYS BECAUSE I CONSENTED FOR THEM TO APPLY $200 FOR THEIR FREE WARRANTY TODAY. SENDING PICTURE OF ORIGINAL AD. THANK YOU.

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.
