2005 POLARIS 700EFI SPORTSMAN 2 QUADS THEY BOTH HAVE LESS THAN 100HRS OF TIME IN USE. BOTH QUADS HAVE A CRACKED AND BROKEN FRAME. POLARIS SAYS TO BAD ITS OUT OF WARRANTY. I WORK WITH STRUCTURES AT HONEYWELL AEROSPACE THE CRACKS ARE CAUSED BY COLD WELDS AND POOR QUALITY CONTROLS. I HAVE TRIED NUMEROUS WAYS TO CONTACT POLARIS BUT NO ONE WILL LISTEN TO ME. I JUST WONDER HOW MANY OTHERS ARE OUT THERE WITH CRACKED FRAMES? *TR
4 of 4 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.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
