NHTSA Complaint #10486677 — 2010 HONDA VFR1200F

STUMBLING AND THEN SUDDEN SURGING IRRESPECTIVE OF THROTTLE POSITION HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER OVER SIX TIMES TO GET THIS CORRECTED AND HAVE SPOKEN TO HONDA USA MOTORCYCLE DIVISION. FINAL RESULT IS THAT THEY CAN OR WILL DO NOTHING UNTIL DEALER CAN HAVE IT HAPPEN TO THEM. AREA REP RODE BIKE FOR 40 MILES AND IT DID NOT HAPPEN AND DEALER HAS RIDDEN SEVERAL TIMES. HONDA ALSO SAID IT DOES NOT SHOW UP AS A FAULT CODE SO THEY NEED PROOF. HAS HAPPENED TO SOMEONE I ASKED TO USE THE BIKE. VERY QUALIFIED MECHANIC WHO OVERSEES THE SERVICE QC FOR NATIONAL GUARD'S FLEET OF HELICOPTERS IN EASTERN CT AND IS VERY MOTORCYCLE SAVY. HIS COMMENT WAS: "THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN" THIS STUMBLING AND SURGING HAS HAPPENED IN AT LEAST TWO OF THE SITUATIONS THAT PUT ME IN A UNSAFE SITUATION WHILE PULLING ONTO THE RT 95 CT. *TR
