ON 9/14/2006 I PURCHASED A NEW 2006 DUCATI 999R MOTORCYCLE FROM MUNROE MOTORS AND WAS RIDING HOME FROM THEIR STORE. I HAD ONLY RIDDEN 1/4 MILE FROM THEIR STORE WHEN THE ENGINE DIED AT A STOP SIGN. I TOOK THE BIKE BACK TO THEM 9/17/2006 TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. SINCE THEN, I HAVE RETURNED THE MOTORCYCLE BACK TO THEM NUMEROUS TIMES TO CORRECT THE STALLING ISSUE BUT IT HAS NEVER BEEN ALLEVIATED.

I OWN 2004 DUCATI 998 MATIRX MOTORCYCLE. IT HAS A PROBLEM OF STALLING AT LOW SPEEDS. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING. THE BIKE DIES INSTANTANEOUSLY. INITIALLY, IT WAS STALLING WHILE STOPPED AND IDLING. LATER, IT WOULD DIE AS I WAS RIDING THE BIKE.

I HAD TO PUSH THE BIKE OUT OF THE INTERSECTION BECAUSE IT WOULD START THEN IMMEDIATELY DIE. I TOOK THE BIKE TO …

Emerging complaint spikes
Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.
This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.
No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.
Equal-age model-year comparison
