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.

WELL I WAS DRIVING IN MY MOTORCYCLE RIGHT BEHIND MY PARENTS ON JUNE 10, 2012 WHEN I NOTICED THAT THEY WERE SPEEDING, I BROUGHT IT TO THERE ATTENTION, MY SPEEDOMETER SAID THEY WERE GOING 80, BUT MY PARENTS STATED THEY WERE GOING 75 MPH. SO WE WENT FOR A TEST DRIVE WHEN WE GOT HOME I STATED TO HIM DRIVE 55 MPH FOR ABOUT TWO MILES AND I WILL BE RIGHT BEHIND YOU SURE ENOUGH MY SPEEDOMETER SAID I WAS GOING 60 BUT HE WAS GOING 55. THEN I TESTED IT WITH A GPS DEVICE AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. ON MONDAY JUNE 11, 2012 I CALLED YAMAHA AND ASKED THEM ABOUT THIS, THEY STATED THAT THERE IS AN ALLOWABLE DIFFERENCE WHICH IS 10 PERCENT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE STATEMENT TO ME IS VALID. ONE OF THE REASONS I AM CONCERNED IS THE SLOWEST POSSIBLE LIMIT ON A FREEWAY IS 45 MPH HERE IN CA. WHAT IF I AM GOING 46, AND A POLICE OFFICER PULLS ME OVER FOR GOING 40...WHO WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CITATION? *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.
