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.

I HAVE A BRAND NEW 2007 VESPA LX 150 SCOOTER WHICH I PURCHASED ON JULY 19, 2008. I HAVE OWNED IT FOR 10 DAYS AND HAVE ONLY 35 MILES ON IT. TONIGHT WHILE RIDING I EXPERIENCED A STUCK THROTTLE WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN SEVERE INJURIES TO MYSELF OR OTHERS HAD I BEEN RIDING IN TRAFFIC. LUCKILY I WAS RIDING IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA BUT THERE WERE CHILDREN PLAYING NEARBY! I HAD TO USE THE KILL ENGINE SWITCH IN ORDER TO CUT THE ENGINE TO PREVENT A RUNAWAY SCOOTER AND A DEVASTATING ACCIDENT. I HAD TO WALK THE SCOOTER HOME, APPROXIMATELY A HALF MILE. I WILL BE CALLING PIAGGIO AND THE DEALER IN STATE COLLEGE, PA IN THE MORNING TO REPORT THIS PROBLEM AND HOPEFULLY GET SATISFACTORY RESOLUTION. I THINK A STUCK THROTTLE IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM, BUT WHEN IT HAPPENS IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. *TR

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.
