Most Recent Complaints
received a recall dated 12/1/2022 for Campaign 22V837. Have been trying for 3 months to schedule an appointment with the Indian Dealership Maddie's Power Sports in Dansville NY to include using their online customer contact form and received a call 15 FEB from their Sales Agent that he would have Service Department call me. Was able to make contact with service department who stated they will put me on a list to call me around 2 MAY 2023 to hopefully schedule appointment if fuel pump comes in. Called Indian Motorcycle Owner Connections Department and was told is there another shop I can go to and NTTS is already aware of the Problem, there is nothing more they can do. This is an unreasonable time for a repair and will not afford me the option to ride again to mid to late May. I feel that I should be offered a buy back option for the cost of my loan since I am paying for motorcycle i cannot safely drive per NHTS.
