Consumer Description

THE 2005 GOLD WING HAS A FRONT END WOBBLE WHICH IS EXPERIENCED ON DECELERATION AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH. TIRES HAVE BEEN REPLACED, STEERING HEAD BEARINGS HAVE BEEN TIGHTENED. THREE DIFFERENT DEALERS ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM IN THIS YEAR OF BIKE. HONDA AMERICA ALSO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT HAS NOT TAKEN ANY CORRECTIVE ACTION. THIS WOBBLE NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ON MAY 11, 2006 WHEN THE BIKE AND RIDER WERE STRUCK BY AN UNEXPECTED CROSSWIND ON JELLICO MOUNTAIN. UPON RAPID DECELERATION THE BIKE WOBBLED AND NEARLY CRASHED. HONDA AMERICA'S RESPONSE IS TO INSURE THAT BOTH HANDS ARE ON THE HANDLEBARS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT THAT NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. *NM
