| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: In the past month mulitple honda gl1800 frame breakages have occurred. the breakage causes the vehicle to drop down with the lowest protion contacting the ground and the rear wheel contacting the fender. if this were to happen while cornering, an accident is likely to occur. 7 breakages have been documented to date with vin numbers and photographs. others have been mentioned, but are not verifiable at this time. honda corp. has been quietly replacing the motorcycles so the actual number of breakages could be much higher. i feel at this time that i can no longer trust the integrity of my motorcycle and instead will find another mode of transportation. unfortunately, i spent 17000.00 on this bike a year ago and now it is merely a liability. i especially would not allow any riders which defeats the core design of this motorcycle as a two-up touring bike. i feel honda has known about this issue for some time and has chosen to try to cover it up, indicating the corporations contempt for honest and fair business practices.*ak |
