NHTSA Complaint #10334496 — 2009 CAN-AM SPYDER RS

I HAVE A 2009 CAN AM SPYDER. THERE IS A STEERING PROBLEM WITH THE BIKE. I WILL BE DRIVING THE BIKE STRAIGHT AND IT WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN GO LEFT WITHOUT MY TURNING THE HANDLE BAR IN THAT DIRECTION. I HAVE TO THEN PULL THE BAR RIGHT, IT WILL CLICK AND THEN I WILL HAVE CONTROL OVER THE STEERING AGAIN. IT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT SIX TIMES NOW, AND WHEN IT HAPPENS IT IS RANDOM. THUS FAR I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT BUT IT IS DANGEROUS AND BRP NEEDS TO BE WORKING WITH THE PEOPLE THAT ARE HAVING PROBLEMS, COMPENSATING THEM OR SOMETHING. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, WHEN I TOOK THE BIKE IN FOR REGULAR 3000 MILE MAINTENANCE THEY DID ALL THE CHECKS, HOOKED IT UP TO BUDS AND BASICALLY SAID ALL WAS FINE. SINCE TAKING IT IN, THE STEERING HAS ACTED UP YET AGAIN. BRP HAS CALLED AND LEFT A RAMBLING MESSAGE ON MY MACHINE ABOUT HOW THEY ARE WORKING ON THE STEERING ISSUE, BUT THEY HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THE PROBLEM FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES. IT IS A DANGEROUS BIKE AS IS, AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO CORRECT IT FROM WHAT I CAN SEE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT, IF IT HASN'T ALREADY HAPPENED. *TR
