NO INJURIES OR DEATH YET!! POLARIS SPORTSMAN 90 YOUTH ATV-HAVE HAD 2 OCCASIONS WHEN THE YOUTH ATV THROTTLE WOULD STICK AND THE ATV WOULD TAKE OFF RUNNING! IN ADDITION, STARTER STICKS ON WHEN ATV IS STARTED. DEALER WAS CONTACTED WHILE ATV WAS WITHIN WARRANTY PERIOD AND PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED. ATV OUT OF WARRANTY AND POLARIS DID NOT WANT TO FIX PROBLEM. AFTER ARGUING BACK & FORTH, DEALER DECIDED TO COVER LABOR IF POLARIS COVERED PARTS. POLARIS AGREED. DEALER HAD ATV FOR OVER A MONTH AND STATED BOTH PROBLEMS WERE FIXED.....STILL HAVING PROBLEMS THE DAY WE BROUGHT BACK FROM DEALER AFTER THEY REPLACED STARTED & THROTTLE CABLE. THIS IS A PROBLEM WAITING TO HAPPEN-THIS IS A CHILD'S MACHINE AND POLARIS DOES NOT WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR A FAULTY MACHINE!!!! HAVE HAD PROBLEMS FROM THE DAY WE BROUGHT IT HOME FROM DEALERSHIP BRAND NEW!!! WE CANNOT SELL THIS TO ANOTHER PERSON FOR FEAR A CHILD NOT AS EXPERIENCED AS OURS WILL GET HURT OR KILLED ON THIS MACHINE. POLARIS NOT WILLING TO TAKE THE MACHINE BACK FOR EVEN TRADE ON SIMILAR MODEL! WHAT CAN WE DO...HAS BEEN BACK AND FORTH TO DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR SAME PROBLEM AND THEY WILL NOT FIX THIS POSSIBLE DEADLY PROBLEM! *TR
