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.

HELLO; I CONTACTED THE YAMAHA CORPORATION ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AT THEIR CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS IN CYPRESS, CALIFORNIA. TWICE, I TRIED TO GET THE PROBLEM TAKEN CARE OF. FIRST CONTACT WAS [XXX], THEN [XXX], 04-10-2015. 10:55 AM, THE ATTITUDE OF THE REPRESENTATIVES WAS INCREDIBLE, EVEN TO THE POINT OF MOCKING ME ABOUT THE SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN I ASKED TO SPEAK TO A MANAGER, THEY SAID THERE WASN'T ONE, AND THAT I AM WHO YOU SPEAK TO . THE FINAL RESPONSE OF BOTH WAS THAT THERE IS NO RECALL AND I WAS TO PAY FOR IT MYSELF. THIS PATTERN OF RESPONSE IS PRE-PLANNED BY YAMAHA, THEY DO NOT CARE AT ALL. THIS ISSUE CAN EASILY RESULT IN DEATH, A SCOOTER THAT INSTANTLY STOPS IN TRAFFIC IS EXTREMELY SERIOUS. PLEASE HELP ME, THEY DO NOT CARE AT ALL ABOUT THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

HELLO; I HAVE A 2008 YAMAHA MORPHOUS. THERE ARE RECALLS ON THE 2005-2007 MODELS. MY MECHANIC HAS DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS THE FUEL SYSTEM BEING ENTIRELY RUSTED OUT, THE FUEL TANK, FUEL FILTER, AND ASSEMBLY. I CONTACTED YAMAHA CORPORATION AND THEY WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. THE RECALL SAYS THIS PROBLEM CAN RESULT IN DEATH THIS IS NOT RIGHT AT ALL, AND I JUST PURCHASED THIS FROM A SECOND PARTY. PLEASE HELP ME AND ADD THIS TO THE LIST OF RECALLS. IT SHOULD BE 2005-2008, THE LAST YEAR THEY WERE MADE. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *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.
