Consumer Description

MOTORCYCLE STALLS INTERMITTENTLY AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS. MOTORCYCLE HAS BEEN IN FOR REPAIRS 7 TIMES FOR STALLING AND 3 OF THESE TIMES IT REQUIRED TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO THE ENGINE SHUTTING DOWN WHEN PUT INTO GEAR. THE BIKE IS AT BMW MOTORCYCLES OF FT. WORTH NOW, AFTER BEING TOWED FOR THE 3RD TIME. THE DEALER CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE MOTORCYCLE BUT IT'S CLEARLY EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO OPERATE. I NEARLY GOT RAN OVER BY A LOGGING TRUCK IN ARKANSAS WHEN THE BIKE STALLED AT HIGHWAY SPEED. BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC AND BMW OF FT. WORTH REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE, MODEL AND SPECIFICALLY MY MOTORCYCLE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED IF THE NHTSA DOESN'T STEP IN AND FORCE A RECALL OF 2009-2010 BMW K1300S AND K1300GT MODELS. THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM, CHECK IBMW.COM FOR MORE INFORMATION. *TR
