Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I currently own a victory v92c motorcycle made by polaris industries. this motorcycle has 7000 mile on the odometer and has started to experience increasing frequency of shift problems over the last year. i am currently experiencing about one shift failure every 25 miles of operation this failure usually consists of the transmission shifting into a position of neutral when shifting between second and third gears. i have experienced a more dangerous condition recently that is the transmission will downshift from third to second when under a load such as accelerating into traffic at an expressway on ramp. this results in an overreving of the engine and a dramatic slowing down of the motorcycle which when it occurs requires the driver to react to avoid a crash. i have delivered the motorcycle to a dealer to have the transmission repaired that is where i heard about the investigation being done by the nhtsa. *nm
