Most Recent Complaints
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.

1. I WAS RIDING MY 2006 HYOSUNG GV650, A BOLT WHICH ATTACHES THE HANDLE BARS TO THE UPPER TREE HAD SHEARED. THE HANDLE BARS HAD DETACHED FROM THE MOTORCYCLE, RENDERING LOSS OF CONTROL. *TR 2. THE FAILURE RESULTED OF A BROKEN BOLT. THIS FAILURE OCCURRED ONCE AND HAS RENDERED THE MOTORCYCLE INOPERABLE. THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE BOLT FAILURE, RENDERED LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE MOTORCYCLE AND DAMAGE TO THE MOTORCYCLE. DAMAGE WAS SUSTAINED TO THE THROTTLE ASSEMBLY, FURTHER RENDERING IT INOPERABLE, AND HAD COMPOUNDED LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE MOTORCYCLE. DAMAGE HAS ALSO OCCURRED TO THE HANDLE BAR ASSEMBLY AND THE UPPER TREE. 3. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP FROM WHICH I PURCHASED THE MOTORCYCLE. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED THE CORPORATE OFFICES OF HYOSUNG USA REGARDING THIS ISSUE. NEITHER PARTY HAS RECTIFIED THE ISSUE, NOR RETURNED MY CALLS/E-MAILS. THE MANUFACTURER HAS DONE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. NO PARTS HAVE BEEN REPAIRED, OR REPLACED. THE EFFECTED PART (TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE) WAS REPLACED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 07V015000.
