REAR BRAKE DOESN'T WORK AT ALL, EVEN IF IM ON A HILL WITH A PASSENGER I HAVE TO USE FRONT BRAKES JUST TO KEEP US IN PLACE AS REAR BRAKE WILL HAVE US GOING BACKWARDS. I HAVE HAD IT BLED MULTIPLE TIMES, IF YOU SMASH IT WITH YOUR FOOT IT WONT EVEN LOCK UP THE REAR WHEEL.

REAR BRAKE IS BASICALLY USELESS. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY A DUCATI DEALER $180.00 AN HOUR TO BLEED THE BRAKE FOR ME, SO I DO IT MYSELF. WORKS FOR A BIT, THEN GOES AWAY AND BARELY STOPS THE WHEEL WHEN I DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL. IT HAS BEEN THIS WAY SINCE NEW AND DUCATI HAS NOT OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED IT AS A PROBLEM AS IT AFFECTS A FEW DIFFERENT MODELS.

Reading this record

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.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
