NHTSA Complaint #11316901 — 2019 HONDA CRF1000

FOR THE 4TH TIME IN THE LAST YEAR MY BIKE HAS HAD FUEL DELIVERY CUT OUT AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THIS CAUSED A HUGE LOSS OF SPEED AND MOMENTUM, AND ALMOST LEAD TO ME BEING HIT BY A CAR. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE BIKE LURCHES VIOLENTLY AND IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. IN EVERY CASE I HAVE HAD TO STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUT THE BIKE DOWN. I SHIFT THE BIKE DOWN, WAIT AND RESTART. IN EVERY CASE THE BIKE HAS GONE A FEW MILES THEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN, REPEATEDLY. I BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALER. THE FIRST TIME THEY SAID I PROBABLY HAD BAD FUEL, AND TO TRY AGAIN. IT HAPPENED AGAIN IN CANADA 2 MONTHS LATER. AND AGAIN ON THE WAY BACK TO MINNESOTA. THIS TIME HE DEALER CHECKED FOR COMPUTER ERRORS, SAID I HAD ONE AND THAT THEY CORRECTED IT. TODAY ON MN HWY 10 THE FUEL CUT OUT AT 70 MPH, ALMOST CAUSING MY WIFE TO RUN INTO ME. THIS IS UNSAFE AND UNPREDICTABLE, AND SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING TO A ONE YEAR OLD BIKE. *TR
