Consumer Description

PURCHASED MAY 2009,NEW,BMW K1300S MOTORCYCLE. THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF DURING OPERATION ON A REGULAR BASIS. MOSTLY OCCURS WHEN DECELERATION BUT HAS ALSO FAILED DURING UPSHIFTS FROM 1ST TO SECOND GEAR. DEALER HAS REPLACED A FAULTY SWITCH, THIS HELPED LESSEN THE NUMBER OF TIMES THE BIKE FAILS BUT IT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. RECENTLY THE ENGINE FAILED WHILE DRIVING ON A FREEWAY, RESULTING IN A NEAR REAR END COLLISION AS THE CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST FAILED TO STOP. THIS PROBLEM IS OCCURRING ON MANY BIKES OF THIS MODEL,. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER BMW DOES NOT HAVE A METHOD TO CURE THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO BMW NORTH AMERICA. IF BMW IS UNABLE TO CURE THE PROBLEM, I WOULD LIKE BMW TO PURCHASE THE BIKE BACK. *TR
