COMPLAINT IS WITH A PERSONAL WATER CRAFT. ALMOST EVERYTIME YOU TRY TO START THE WATER CRAFT, THE STARTER JUST SPINS, LIKE IT IS NOT ENGAGING WITH THE ENGINE. AFTER 3-4 TRIES, IT FINALLY CATCHES AND THEN STARTS. IF THE WATER CRAFT DOES NOT START, IT WILL LEAVE ME STRANDED ON THE WATER. WATER CRAFT IS A 2007 KAWASAKI JT1500 ALSO KNOWN AS A 250X. KAWASAKI REFUSES TO PAY FOR THIS ESTIMATED $1,000 REPAIR BECAUSE IT IS 7 MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY. BEING A SAFETY ISSUE AND DUE TO THE EXTREMELY HIGH COST OF THE REPAIR, I AM DEEPLY CONCERNED AND FIND IT SHOCKING THAT KAWASAKI WILL NOT REPAIR THIS COMPONENT AT THEIR EXPENSE. THEY HAVE HAD 5 OTHER RECALLS ON THIS PRODUCT, CLEARLY THEY HAVE QUALITY ISSUES WITH THIS MODEL. *TR
2007 Kawasaki BN125A7F

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