NHTSA Complaint #10339033 — 2000 VICTORY V92SC

I BOUGHT A 2000 VICTORY V92SC FROM A USED CAR DEALERSHIP IN NOV OF 2009. THE BIKE HAD 2502 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A FALSE NEUTRAL WHEN SHIFTING INTO 3RD GEAR. THE BIKE WILL ALSO "DROP" OUT OF 3RD GEAR CAUSING LOSS OF POWER AND CREATING HAZARDOUS TRAFFIC SITUATIONS. I TOOK THE MOTORCYCLE TO A VICTORY DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THIS WAS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR MOTORCYCLE THAT VICTORY PRODUCED. IT WOULD SEEM IN THE BEST INTEREST OF ALL INVOLVED, FOR POLARIS INDUSTRIES TO PROVIDE A WORKING TRANSMISSION AT NO COST TO UNSUSPECTING BUYERS OF THEIR PRODUCT. I PAID $3,900 FOR THIS MOTORCYCLE WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY UNSAFE TO OPERATE ON US HIGHWAYS!!! IF POLARIS WILL NOT FIX THE FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS, THE NHTSA SHOULD DEEM THE MOTORCYCLES ILLEGAL TO OPERATE ON US HIGHWAYS DUE TO MECHANICAL MALFUNCTION AND THE SUBSEQUENT HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS CREATED BY SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER. POLARIS...STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND RESOLVE ALL THESE PROBLEMS WITH YOUR PRODUCT. *TR
