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.

I BOUGHT A 2000 VICTORY V92SC FROM A USED CAR DEALERSHIP IN NOV OF 2009. THE BIKE HAD 2502 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A FALSE NEUTRAL WHEN SHIFTING INTO 3RD GEAR. THE BIKE WILL ALSO "DROP" OUT OF 3RD GEAR CAUSING LOSS OF POWER AND CREATING HAZARDOUS TRAFFIC SITUATIONS. I TOOK THE MOTORCYCLE TO A VICTORY DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THIS WAS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR MOTORCYCLE THAT VICTORY PRODUCED. IT WOULD SEEM IN THE BEST INTEREST OF ALL INVOLVED, FOR POLARIS INDUSTRIES TO PROVIDE A WORKING TRANSMISSION AT NO COST TO UNSUSPECTING BUYERS OF THEIR PRODUCT. I PAID $3,900 FOR THIS MOTORCYCLE WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY UNSAFE TO OPERATE ON US HIGHWAYS!!! IF POLARIS WILL NOT FIX THE FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS, THE NHTSA SHOULD DEEM THE MOTORCYCLES ILLEGAL TO OPERATE ON US HIGHWAYS DUE TO MECHANICAL MALFUNCTION AND THE SUBSEQUENT HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS CREATED BY SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER. POLARIS...STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND RESOLVE ALL THESE PROBLEMS WITH YOUR PRODUCT. *TR

I OWN A 2000 VICTORY V92SC MOTORCYCLE. THE BIKE HAS BEGAN TO JUMP OUT OF THIRD GEAR EVERY TIME. THIS CAN CAUSE PARTS TO FAIL LOCKING UP THE TRANSMISSION RESULTING IN LOSS OF CONTROL. VICTORY IS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT REFUSES TO MAKE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS. THE MOTORCYCLE HAS LESS THAN 7K MILES ON IT. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS MOTORCYCLE AT ONE TIME. THERE HAVE BEEN NO REPAIRS TO THE BIKE AT THIS POINT. *TR

THESE ARE COMMON PROBLEMS WITH THE '98-'01 VICTORY BIKES. MY TRANSMISSION IS SHOWING SIGNS OF "GOING OUT." VICTORY WILL NOT RECALL NOR REPLACE UNTIL TOTAL FAILURE. FAILURE OF OTHER'S BIKES HAVE RESULTED IN TRANSMISSION LOCKING UP UNDER SPEED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION.*AK

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.
