09 HYOSUNG GT250R. PURCHASED NEW FROM BERTS MEGA MALL DEALER IN COVINA CALIFORNIA, DEALER SAID IT WAS A NEW BIKE WITH MANUFACTURER WARRANTY. BUT, AFTER SOME WEEKS ON 4/21/2012 THE FRONT BRAKE CALIPER FELL FROM THE TIRE SUPPORT, CAUSING LOSS OF BRAKE POWER ON THE FREEWAY AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WITH TRAFFIC. THEN ON 6/11/12 THE CLUTCH/TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS LEAD TO A FAILURE OF THE DRIVE CHAIN CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL. INCIDENT REPORTED ON 6/12/12 WITH THE DEALER AND 'IM WAITING FOR AN ANSWER FROM THEM. I WILL CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER TO FILE A COMPLAINT BECAUSE A NEW BIKE SHOULDN'T PUT ANYONE IN DANGER, TWO TIMES IN LESS THAN FOUR MONTHS ; I WILL FORWARD THE COMPLAINT TO DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AND BBB (BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU ) TO SOLVE THIS .

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.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
