CONTACTED SUZUKI, TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED. T OOK MOTORCYCLETO DEALER, THEY TORE THE MOTOR DOWN. SUZUKI REP CAME AND LOOKED AT IT. A FEW DAYS LATER SUZUKI CALLED ME AND SAID THEY WERE NOT GOING TO COVER MY PROBLEM UNDER WARRANTY. THEY IT WASN'T A FACTORY DEFECT, BUT I BELIEVE IT IS. THERE HAVE BEEN AT LEAST 7 OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. ONE CASE INVOLVED THE REAR WHEEL OF MOTORCYCLE LOCKING UP AT 65 MPH ON THE FREEWAY. SO IT CAN BE CONSIDERED DANAGEROUS. SUZUKI WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS A PROBLEM OR DEFECT. THEY TOLD ME THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THEY HAD HEARD ABOUT SUCH A PROBLEM.*AK

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.
