Consumer Description

ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING 2009 BMW K1300GT MOTORCYCLE. THIS HAS OCCURRED SIX TIMES, SOME WHILE APPROACHING OR PULLING AWAY FROM STOP SIGNS, OTHERS ON THE STREET DURING LOW SPEED RIDING. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. A CYCLE MUST REMAIN MOVING TO MAINTAIN STABILITY AND STALLING AT A STOP SIGN CAN LEAD TO BEING REAR-ENDED BY OTHER VEHICLES BEHIND ME. THE DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED AND DOES NOT HAVE A SOLUTION. I AM FEARFUL OF RIDING THE CYCLE AT THIS POINT DUE TO THE SIGNIFICANT DANGER POSED BY THIS UNEXPECTED ENGINE STALLING WHILE RIDING. I UNDERSTAND THAN BMW HAS POSSIBLY BEEN IGNORING THIS SITUATION FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND THAT NHTSA HAS YET TO TAKE ACTION. PLEASE TAKE ACTION BEFORE THE FIRST DEATH RESULTS. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE THAT ONLY A CYCLE RIDER CAN FULLY COMPREHEND. *TR
