NHTSA Complaint #10883517 — 2009 HARLEY-DAVIDSON FLHT

ANTI-LOCK BRAKES, MOTORCYCLE PURCHASED IN 2009, AT APPR. 12000 MILES, FRONT BRAKE ROTORS WARPED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT HAS TO BE ADDRESSED AROUND EVERY 12000 MILES SINCE NEW AND I HAVE 90,000 MILES ON IT NOW. AT APPR. 40,000 MILES, THE HOLE FRONT BRAKE SYSTEM HAD TO BE REPLACED, ROTORS, CALIPERS, LINES, MASTER CYLINDER. THE BRAKES WOULD AUTOMATICALLY APPLY THEMSELVES UNTIL I WOULD HAVE TO PULL OVER. THEY WOULD LOCK DOWN. THEY WOULD WORK PROPERLY AFTER I SAT ON SIDE OF ROAD FOR AROUND 30 MINUTES. I TOOK IT TO HARLEY THE NEXT DAY. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE ROTOR WARPING WAS NORMAL, THAT IS BS. THAT COSTS ME $300 EVERY 1200 MILES. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR ROTOR ONCE, IT NEEDS REPLACING NOW. THE DATE BELOW DON'T REPRESENT ANY ACTUAL TIME.
