SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW THERE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL GAUGE. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHERS WHO HAVE MENTIONED A PROBLEM WITH VESPA FUEL GAUGES ON VARIOUS WEBSITES AS WELL. WHEN I BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALER, WHO IS NOW OUT OF BUSINESS, HE SAID TO RELY ON THE FUEL GAUGE LIGHT. ON THE DATE LISTED ABOVE THE LOW FUEL LIGHT QUIT WORKING AS WELL AND I RAN OUT OF FUEL ON A BUSY STREET AND WAS NEARLY HIT BY SEVERAL VEHICLES. *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.
