NHTSA Complaint #10599138 — 2009 HARLEY-DAVIDSON VRSCDX

SINCE TIME OF PURCHASE, FUEL SENDING UNIT HAS NOT BEEN WORKING. TAKEN TO LOCAL HD DEALER FOR A CHECK AND THEY HAVE NO FIX. DOING SOME RESEARCH MOST 2007 AND UP HARLEY DAVIDSON V-RODS HAVE A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THEIR FUEL SENDING UNIT NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND THE FUEL GAUGE MALFUNCTIONS. HD HAS TRIED 2 OR 3 FIXES FOR THIS SOLUTION BUT AT THE OWNER'S COST. ON OCTOBER 11TH, 2013 THE FUEL SENDING UNIT ON MY VRSCDX WAS READING 1/2 TANK, AND MY MOTORCYCLE COMPLETELY RAN OUT OF GAS ON I-75 NORTHBOUND. THIS LEFT ME STRANDED ON THE EXPRESSWAY. FINDING OUT THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR OVER 7 YEARS AND HD HAS NOT FOUND A WORKING FIX AND NOT ISSUED A RECALL ON THIS PART. VERY DISTURBING. *TR
