NHTSA complaint: 2002 UNKNOWN UNKNOWN — ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING
MY MOTORCYCLE (INDEPENDENCE BRAND -- MODEL IS FREEDOM EXPRESS) HAS SOME TYPE OF SHORTAGE IN THE LIGHTING SYSTEM. THE BLINKERS WORK WHEN AND IF THEY WANT TO. THEY WILL COME ON SOMETIMES ON THEIR OWN...AND I AM UNABLE TO CUT THEM OFF. WHEN I WANT THEM TO COME ON, SOMETIMES THEY WILL AND SOMETIMES THEY WON'T. THE BIKE HAS BEEN TO TWO DEALERS TO BE FIXED. HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP A TOTAL OF ABOUT 10 TIMES. I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN INTO MY DRIVEWAY RECENTLY AND SOMEONE PASSED ME ON THE LEFT. I AM ASSUMING THE BLINKER QUIT WORKING. THEY RAN INTO ME. FORTUNATELY, I WAS NOT FULLY INTO MY TURN AND THEY SIDE SWIPED ME. *JB
