Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I bought a 2005 (new) kawasaki mean streak vn1600 motorcycle on june, of 2005, and have had serious safety concerns about this vehicle especially after the second most recent mechanical failure which nearly cost me my life when the motorcycle died on me during heavy traffic on a major highway. ive done everything possible to convince all parties (dealer, manufacture, and bank), that this motorcycle has had major defects from the factory from the time of purchase. it has all fallen on deaf ears as far as they are concerned, and i desperately need assistance in what to do next. the letter below (sent 03/01/07), is just one of several (20-30) to the bank that has the responsibility (legally), to commence a charge back for the multiple failures the product has had. i will not ride this bike again for i dont deem it to be safe. please assist me with what i need to do? thank you,
