THE TAIL LIGHT OF THIS MOTOR SCOOTER DOES NOT STAY LIT, OPERATING INTERMITTENTLY WHEN IN MOTION. THE LACK OF POWER TO THE BULB APPEARS TO BE DUE TO THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE TAIL LIGHT SOCKET. LACK OF THE ONLY RUNNING LAMP ON THE REAR OF THE SCOOTER MAKES IT UNSAFE TO OPERATE AT NIGHT. THE SCOOTER IS SOLD AS MEETING US DOT LIGHTING REQUIREMENTS. MY SCOOTER IS LICENSED BY THE STATE OF MARYLAND AND IS REQUIRED TO BE CONSTRUCTED FOR ON-ROAD USE HAVING AN ENGINE OF NOT MORE THAN 50 CC DISPLACEMENT.

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.
