Complaint Summary
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Owner Narrative
This motorcycle continues to go into "Limp Mode". This has happened now two times with no explanation from the manufacture as to why. The bike will lose engine power and immediately drop to speeds no higher than 55mph. This was advised to dealer and they were very familiar with this, and initially told me the repairs were denied by BRP, but that they covered the issue and fixed it. Less than 1 week later, the same thing happened. The check engine light comes on and the gauges read VSS Fault, Limp Mode. This is very unsafe as there is no explanation as to why this happens and engine power is loss at any given moment. I fear riding the bike on the freeway at high speeds and this happening and potentially causing me to be hit by another vehicle from the immediate loss of power. This is a well known issue and I don't feel this bike is safe for the road.
