IN JUNE OF 2017, WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, I NOTICED THE TURN SIGNAL DID NOT WORK. I CHECKED THE HEADLIGHT AND IT WAS OFF ALSO, MEANING ALL THE LIGHTS WERE DEAD. AFTER IT SAT FOR 2 HOURS THE LIGHTS RESUMED FUNCTIONING. A WEEK LATER I NOTICED THEY QUIT AGAIN. THEN I PARKED THE MOTORCYCLE FOR CONCERN OVER MY SAFETY. OVER THE LAST 6 MONTHS IT HAS NOT LEFT MY GARAGE EXCEPT FOR A TRIP TO THE DEALER, WHO REFUSED TO LOOK AT THE PROBLEM. I HAVE RANDOMLY TURNED THE KEY ON AS IT HAS REMAINED PARKED.

THE HEAD LIGHTS, TAIL LIGHTS, INDICATOR LIGHTS, AND HORN ALL FAILED SIMULTANEOUSLY. THE BIKE IS NOW COMPLETELY SILENT AND HAS NO ABILITY TO LIGHT UP OR BLOW THE HORN. THIS CONDITION MAKES THE BIKE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO RIDE ON THE ROAD. THE PROBLEM MANIFESTED IN BETWEEN RIDES. ALL THE SYSTEMS WORKED ONE DAY AND FAILED THE NEXT DAY. THESE SYSTEMS ARE ON TWO SEPARATE FUSES AND THEY ARE IN FINE SHAPE.

Zero FX started smoking and burst into flames last month. I have serious burns on my right thigh requiring multiple skin grafts. I been complaining for months that the batteries were getting hot when charging and that this was the same thing that happened to a former colleague in Seattle. Zero picked up the FX (some dealer or Zero employee) and refuses to return it demanding I take a $10000 settlement and sign a agreement to keep silent. I hear this has happened to others. It is not their vehicle and something is very wrong with this deman…

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
