TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1998 HONDA GOLDWING. WHILE RIDING 30 MPH, THE REAR BRAKE FAILED TO RESPOND WHEN THE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HYDRAULIC FLUID NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,000.
SUSPENSION RIDES AT THE BOTTOM AND WHEN TURNING CORNERS OR ON THE HIGHWAY,IT MAKES IT HARD TO STEER. THERE IS A TWO INCH JERK THAT OCCURS AT 60-70 MPH. THE DEALER CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *AK CONSUMER STATES THAT THE FRONT FORKS RIDE NEAR THE BOTTOM AND BOTTOM OUT ON THE HIGHWAY WITH 1 OR 2 PEOPLE ON IT, THE DEALER HAS LOOKED AT THIS TWICE. *SLC

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.
