WENT TO START MACHINE AFTER A DAY OF RIDING. COULDN'T GET ENGINE TO START WITHOUT GIVING IT THROTTLE. CALLED DEALER, WAITED OVER 2 WEEKS TO GET IT IN. THEY CHANGED A BUNCH OF SENSORS, BUT NEVER FIXED ANYTHING. I BROUGHT IT TO ANOTHER DEALER, AND THEY FOUND THE CRANK SHAFT TIMING GEAR HAD SPUN ON THE CRANKSHAFT. TIMING WAS OFF ABOUT 2 TEETH. ITS JULY AND IM ABOUT TO GET MY MACHINE BACK. POLARIS MUST KNOW THAT IT HAS AN ISSUE, AS THEY COVERED MY PARTS OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD. BUT REFUSE TO PAY LABOR. I KNOW THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE DUE TO THE ONLINE POLARIS FORUMS. *TR

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.
