2006 VENTO PHANTOM 4RI SCOOTER SCOOTER HAD ABOUT 600 MILES ON IT (PRACTICALLY BRAND NEW). SUMMARY: ------------------ REAR AXLE NUT CAME OFF ON IT'S OWN BOTH REAR VIEW MIRRORS VIBRATE SO MUCH THAT YOU CANNOT SEE BEHIND YOU WHEN DRIVING FASTER THAN 25 MPH FRONT HEADLIGHT BULBS ARE PRONE TO BURN OUT (28 WATT BULB). BULB IS NOT AVAILABLE IN STORES OR IN MANUFACTURER FOR REPLACEMENT, HARD TO GET PARTS. TOOK TO DEALER FOR FIRST MAINTENANCE SERVICE, DEALER INSPECTED REAR AXLE AND FOUND REAR AXLE NUT WAS MISSING. IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE A SPECIAL LOCKING WASHER NUT THAT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO COME OFF. MY SUSPICION IS THAT THE EXTREME VIBRATIONS ON THE VEHICLE CAUSED THE BOLT TO WORK IT'S WAY LOOSE. ALSO, WHEN GOING FASTER THAN ABOUT 25 MPH BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT SIDE MIRRORS VIBRATE SO MUCH THAT ALL VISION THROUGH THE MIRRORS IS BLURRY. YOU CANNOT SEE VEHICLES BEHIND YOU. *TR

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.
