AT 35MPH DRIVING DOWN THE A BUSY ROAD AT 7:45PM ON 8/22 MY SCOOTER BEGINS TO SMOKE! I PULL OVER AND ALL OF THE GAS IS DRAINING ON THE THE EXHAUST WHICH THE EXHAUST HAS NOW BEGAN TO FLAME I HAD A WATER BOTTLE AND PUT OUT FLAME AFTER I TURNED OFF THE SCOOTER. I WALK THE SCOOTER HOME WHICH WAS ABOUT A MILE AND A HALF AWAY. WHEN I GET THERE I FIND THAT THE SCREWS HAD FALLEN OUT THE "SEALED CARB" THE CARB HAD SCREWS WITH NO HEADS SO IT COULD NOT BE TAMPERED WITH, WHICH I FOUND THE SCREWS ATTACHED TO THE MAGNETIC STARTER. I HAVE VIDEOS OF THE VEHICLE LEAKING THE FUEL AFTER I PUT OUT THE FLAME. I ALSO REACHED OUT TO BOOMMOTOR.COM (T:909-222-6618) & [email protected] AND THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT HELP ME AND BASICALLY THEY DO NOT CARE, BUT I FEEL THAT ALL THERE VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED, AND SHOULDN'T BE STREET LEGAL THIS IS A DANGER! THIS VEHICLE WAS 2WEEKS OLD AND HAD 50 MILES ON IT!
2 of 2 complaints, reproduced as filed.
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
