NHTSA Complaint #10725075 — 2006 HYOSUNG GV650

FOR SOME TIME, I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH STARTING THE BIKE AND/OR KEEPING IT RUNNING. IT WOULD EITHER NOT TURN OVER OR WHEN IT DID START, I WOULD BE RIDING AND WHEN I CAME TO A STOP, IT WOULD STALL. I BROUGHT THE MOTORCYCLE INTO THE SHOP TO FIND OUT THAT THE GAS TANK IS LEAKING AND IT LEAKS INTO MY BATTERY CASEMENT. HYOSUNG KNOWS THAT AFTER 15,000 MILES THE GAS TANKS START TO LEAK. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD, THE BIKE COULD IGNITE INTO FLAMES WHILE ON IT. NOW THAT I SPENT OVER $600 FOR THE TANK AND THE INSTALLATION, THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT AFTER ANOTHER 15,000 MILES I WONT HAVE TO REPLACE IT AGAIN OR THAT IT WONT IGNITE. HYOSUNG HAS NOT RECALLED ANY BIKES FOR THIS HAZARD EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW IT. IT REMINDS ME OF HOW TOYOTA DIDN'T RECALL THEIR FAULTY AIRBAGS UNTIL 4 DEATHS WERE RECORDED EVEN THOUGH THEY KNEW ABOUT THE AIRBAG DEFECTS.
