2012 CAN-AM Spyder Rt

ON 7/11/2019 MY 2012 CANAM RT SE5 STARTED THROWING OUT VSS FAULT CODE, I TOOK IT HOME AND CONTACTED MY LOCAL CANAM SERVICE COMPANY. THEY ASKED ME TO BRING IT IN WHICH I DID THE NEXT DAY. ENROUTE TO THE SHOP IT BEGAN SHOWING ABS LIMP HOME MODE BUT WAS NOT IN LIMP HOME MODE. ONCE CONNECTED TO THE SHOP COMPUTER I WAS ADVISED THE BIKE WAS THROWING OUT NUMEROUS CODES AND FALSE CODES. THEN I WASXADVISED THIS BIKE HAS HAD NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS SINCE 2013 IP TO AND INCLUDING REPLACING THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AT 15000+ MILES. SINCE PURCHASING THW BIKE IT CONSTANTLY SHORTS THE HORN OUT AND I HAVE TO REPLACE THE FUSE. IN ADDITION TO THE VSS/ABS CODES THE SHOCK COMPRESSOR HAD STARTED COMING ON AND OFF.

WHILE STOPPING AFTER 25 MILES. THE REAR BRAKES EMITTED A BURNING ODOR AND FAILED. THE REAR CALIPER AND ROTOR HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE AND REAR BRAKE PADS REPLACED 4 TIMES SINCE NEW WITH ONLY 6500 TOTAL MILES ON VEHICLE. ROTORS BECOME WARPED AND DISCOLORED FROM EXCESSIVE HEAT OCCASIONALLY GLOWING ORANGE AT NIGHT. THESES BRAKES HAVE FAILED SEVERAL TIMES WITH FACTORY PARTS AND CERTIFIED MECHANIC REPAIRS. TAKEN TO AUTHORIZED DEALER SEVERAL TIMES REQUESTING TO OPEN A CASE WITH BRP THAT IS QUICKLY IGNORED AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RESOLVE. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO RIDE AND OBVIOUSLY HAS A FACTORY DEFECTIVE BRAKING SYSTEM. SERIOUS ACCIDENTS OR DEATH IS LIKELY TO RESULT.

BRP OF CANADA MAKES & SELLS THEIR CAN-AM SPYDER THREE WHEELED TRIKE MOTORCYCLE IN THE UNITED STATES. IT IS WELL KNOWN BY THIS VEHICLE'S OWNERS THAT THIS TRIKE PRODUCES A LARGE AMOUNT OF HEAT WHICH IS DIRECTED AT THE DRIVERS RIGHT SIDE FOOT REST AREA MAKING IT AN EXTREMELY HOT AREA ON SAID VEHICLE. SINCE THIS IS ALSO WHERE THE ONLY METHOD OF BRAKING THE VEHICLE RESIDES, I BELIEVE IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND HAVE BEEN TRYING ( UNSUCCESSFULLY ) TO GET THE BRP CAN-AM PEOPLE TO CORRECT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE IS PERMANENTLY INJURED. THEY HAVE DECLINED MY EFFORTS AND REQUEST FOR A FIX TO THIS ISSUE IN A LETTER I RECEIVED. SPOKE WITH A MS. NATASHA 1-888-272-9222 AT BRP REGARDING MY CASE # [XXX] ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS AND RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HER DATED 30-JAN-2013 STATING THAT THE DEALERSHIP ( CENTRAL FLORIDA POWER SPORTS - KISSIMMEE FLORIDA ) HAS EXAMINED THE TRIKE AND DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE IS FUNCTIONING WITHIN THE MANUFACTURERS GUIDELINES. I TOLD HER THAT I STRONGLY BELIEVE THIS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW AS WELL AS BEING A SAFETY ISSUE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
