Engine

Filed Mar 30, 20173,400 milesDE

SEVERE ENGINE COOLANT LEAK, OVERHEATING, AND EMERGENCY STOPPING TO PREVENT ENGINE SEIZURE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, ON A CITY STREET. HAD TO BE WALKED HOME. EVENTUALLY TOWED TO DEALER. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THE VESPA'S ENGINE HAD TO BE REMOVED FROM THE FRAME AND DISCOVERED A BLOWN HEAD GASKET. VESPA HAS 3,400 MILES. HAS BEEN MAINTAINED ACCORDING TO MANUAL. BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE COOLANT COMPLETELY LEAKED OUT ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. WITH NO WARNING. FORTUNATELY DRIVING SLOWLY AT THE TIME.

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.
