SUSPENSION
PURCHASED 9/2015, AS OF 11/16/17 HAVE 15,101 MILES. I AM REPLACING MY SECOND REAR SHOCK. THE ORIGINAL SHOCK BROKE AFTER 11 MONTHS, THE REPLACEMENT SHOCK BROKE WITHIN THE LAST 30 DAYS. HAVING TO HAVE A THIRD REAR SHOCK REPLACEMENT. THE WEIGHT LIMIT WAS NEVER EXCEEDED, THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF ABUSE OR NEGLECT. THE SPYDER HAS HAD ALL OF ITS REGULAR MAINTENANCE PERFORMED ON SCHEDULE AND BY A LICENSED BRP/CAN AM REPAIR CENTER. ALL THREE TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED HAS BEEN AFTER LONG-DISTANCE TOURING TRIPS, EACH THAT LASTED 6-8 DAYS AND COVERED BETWEEN 1600-2400 MILES; BASICALLY FROM FLORIDA UP TO NC, VA, AND NORTHERN GA, SPECIFICALLY. WHAT CAUSED ME TO NOTICE THERE WAS A PROBLEM WERE A) THE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON WHEN TURNING THE VEHICLE, B) ROUGH RIDING CONDITIONS ON SMOOTH INTERSTATE SURFACES, AND C) EXTREME "BOUNCING" GOING ACROSS ROAD LEVELS.

STEERING
I PURCHASED A 2008 CAN-AM SPYDER GS IN 2008. VIN [XXX] VEHICLE PURCHASE DATE 03/06/2008 BRP ISSUED A RECALL ON SEPT 7, 2010 FOR A DYNAMIC POWER STEERING (DPS) UNIT REPLACEMENT HTTPS://CAN-AM.BRP.COM/SPYDER/OWNERS/SAFETY/SAFETY-RECALLS/DYNAMIC-POWER-STEERING--DPS--UNIT-REPLACEMENT.HTML THE RECALL WAS DUE TO A FAULTY POWER STEERING CONTROL UNIT, WHICH SEVERELY HAMPERED THE ABILITY TO TURN THE BIKE, ESPECIALLY AT HIGHER SPEEDS FOR SHARPER TURNS. I HAD THE DPS REPLACED IN 2011. THE UNIT HAS AGAIN FAILED, AND THE REPAIR SHOP (DEL AMO MOTORSPORTS IN REDONDO BEACH, CA...WHO DID THE ORIGINAL REPLACEMENT) HAS CONFIRMED THAT THE FAILURE IS THE EXACT SAME FAILURE AS THE RECALL. I FILED A CASE NUMBER WITH BRP, BRP CASE # 01010694, WHO STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT AUTOMATICALLY COVER THE REPLACEMENT AGAIN, AS THIS HAD ALREADY BEEN REPAIRED. UPON FILING THE REQUEST, CAN-AM DID REJECT THE CLAIM AND SAID THEY WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIRS AS A RECALL. THIS IS NOT SIMPLY A REPAIR TO A REPAIR. THIS IS ANOTHER FAILURE OF THE RECALL, WHICH MEANS THIS SHOULD FALL UNDER THE RECALL CONDITIONS AGAIN. I AM NOT ASKING FOR CAN-AM TO COVER ALL OF THE WORK, SIMPLY COVER THE PART (THE DPS UNIT), WHICH COSTS OVER $1200 USD. AS A RECALLED PART THEY SHOULD HONOR THE PART FOR AN ACCEPTABLE PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE. IN THIS CASE, THE REPLACED DPS UNIT HAS ONLY LASTED FOR 2-3000 MILES, WHICH IS UNACCEPTABLE. BRP SHOULD COVER ALL OF THE RECALL REPAIR, OR AT LEAST THE PART (THE NEW DPS UNIT), WHICH TOTALS OVER $1200 USD.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
FUEL SMELL, LEAKS, EXCESSIVE FUEL CONSUMPTION, AND POOR PERFORMANCE INCLUDING VEHICAL STALLLING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THE FUEL ISSUE OCCURS WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. THE FUEL ODOR IS INTOLERABLE AND CAUSES SEVERE HEADACHES AND NAUSEA WHILE DRIVING. OTHER PEOPLE NOTICE THAT I SMELL LIKE FUEL L AFTER RIDING MY CAN-AM. FOR THESE REASONS I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE IT WITHOUT RISK OF BEING OVERCOME BY THE FUEL VAPORS POTENTIALLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THESE PROBLEMS CONTINUED AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE SERVICED AT A CAN-AM DEALER. THEY REPLACED SOME EMISSIONS HOSES THAT HAD CRACKED BUT IT TOOK SO MANY MONTHS TO FIND THE PROBLEM THAT IT WAS NO LONGER COVERED BY THE EMISSIONS WARRANTEE. THE PERFORMANCE IMPROVED BUT STILL WON'T IDLE SMOOTH AND SURGES WHILE DRIVING. THEE IS ONLY 6,230 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE. DOCUMENTED SERVICE REPORTS ARE AVAILABLE AT TOUSLEY MOTORSPORTS INC, 1400 CO RD E EAST, VADNAIS HEIGHTS, MN 55110. PHONE (651) 483-8296. PREVIOUS UNRESOLVED DIAGNOSTIC ATTEMPTS IN 2016, WERE AT DAKOTA MOTOR SPORTS, 628 CIRCLE DR, ABERDEEN, SD 57401. PHONE (605) 725-2887. THERE IS ALSO A PROBLEM WITHE THE REAR BRAKE CALIPER WHEN THE CALIPER FAILS TO RELEASE COMPLETELY AND DESTROYS BOTH THE BRAKE ROTOR AND BRAKE PAD REPEATEDLY. THE ROTOR BECOMES RED HOT WHILE DRIVING CREATING A FINITE RISK, FLYING METAL SHRAPNEL AND SERIOUS RISK FOR LOSS OF CONTROL EITHER WITH REAR WHEEL LOCK UP OR BRAKING FAILURE WHILE DRIVING.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE TURN SIGNAL FUNCTION DOES NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY. THE SWITCH DOES WORK ON A 45 TO 90 DEGREE TURN HOWEVER IF YOU ARE DRIVING ON A TWO LANE MOTORWAY AND WANT TO SIGNAL TO CHANGE LANES I CAN NOT GET THE SWITCH TO CANCEL OUT. IT DOES NOT CANCEL. MOTORISTS AROUND YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOUR INTENDING TO DO SINCE IT IS SIGNALING LEFT OR RIGHT AS YOU TRY TO GET IT TO CANCEL. DURING THIS PERIOD YOU ARE NOT GIVING 100 PERCENT ATTENTION TO THE TRAFFIC AROUND YOU. THIS CONFUSION OF MOTORISTS AROUND YOU PRESENTS A FURTHER HAZARDOUS SITUATION. THIS SWITCH IS FAULTY. CAN AM SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON THEM. HOPEFULLY REPLACING WITH A BETTER DESIGN. I BOUGHT THE CAN AM USED FROM A PERSON AND THIS IS MY FINDINGS AS THE SECOND OWNER

STEERING
I PURCHASED MY CAN-AM SPYDER IN 2013 IT WAS BRAND NEW. IT NOW ONLY HAS 5,000 MILES ON IT. I GOT THE DPS ERROR AND TOOK IT TO THE CAN-AM DEALER THEY SAID IT IS GOING TO COST ME 2500 TO GET IT FIX (AND THAT THIS ERROR ISN'T ONE THAT COULD BE PUT OFF). I ASKED IF IT IS COVERED BY WARRANTY OR A RECALL SYSTEM THEY SAID NO THAT MY VIN # DIDN'T FALL IN THAT CATEGORY. I LOOKED IT UP ON THE CAN-AM WEBSITE AND ALL THE WEBSITE SAYS IS THE MAKE AND MODEL AND YEAR OF THE RECALL NOT THAT IT IS LIMITED TO A VIN # RANGE.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
TOTAL AND COMPLETE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I WAS DOING 40 MPH UP A MOUNTAIN ROAD AND THE ENTIRE MACHINE SHUTDOWN. IT BUCKED ME SLIGHTLY FROM THE SEAT. NO POWER. NO TRANSMISSION. NO WARNING. COMPLETE SHUTDOWN OF MACHINE. IF I HAD BEEN DOING INTERSTATE SPEEDS OR ON A MUCH BUSIER HIGHWAY, I WOULD HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED AND MOST LIKELY EJECTED OVER THE HANDLEBARS AND QUITE POSSIBLY EVEN KILLED BECAUSE OF THE VERY ABRUPT STOP CAUSED BY THE FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION. FORTUNATELY, I HAD SOMEONE BEHIND ME ON ANOTHER SPYDER WHO RECOGNIZED THAT I WAS IN TROUBLE. THE TRANSMISSION WAS BROKEN INTO PIECES. MY 2013 IS NOT THE ONLY ONE TO HAVE THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH BRP AND WAS NOT SATISFIED WITH THEIR RESPONSE. THERE ARE STILL 2013 HEAT ISSUE RECALL BIKES WHICH ARE BEING SOLD, THAT HAVE NOT HAD THE RECALL PERFORMED. MY BIKE WAS JUST SERVICED AT 14,000 MILES. THIS NEEDS TO BE REPORTED AND LOOKED AT SO OTHERS DO NOT GET INTO A LIFE-ENDING INCIDENT BECAUSE OF TOTAL MACHINE SHUTDOWN WHILE THE BIKE IS OPERATIONAL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO LOCK IN GEAR WHICH IN TURN CAUSED THE ENGINE TO STALL. THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE MOVED FROM THE ROAD CREATING A SAFETY ISSUE TO BOTH MYSELF AND OTHER MOTORISTS. THE VEHICLE STALLED ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY WITH MINIMAL SHOULDER AND IN THE MIDDLE OF A BLIND 45 MPH CORNER. IF THE VEHICLE HAD A NEUTRAL RELEASE SWITCH, THE VEHICLE COULD HAVE BEEN MOVED ONTO THE SHOULDER REMOVING THE OBSTACLE FROM THE PATH OF ONCOMING MOTORISTS. SINCE THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE MOVED, I HAD TO STAND IN THE ROAD TO WARN MOTORISTS TO STOP. THE CAUSE OF THE ELECTRICAL FAILURE IS YET TO BE DETERMINED BUT IS LESS IMPORTANT THAN THE INABILITY TO MOVE THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE PATH OF OTHER MOTORISTS.

SERVICE BRAKES
ON SATURDAY MAY 6, 2017 I TEST DROVE A 2016 CAN AM SPYDER F3. IT WAS A CLEAR, BUT CHILLY AND WINDY DAY IN NORTH EAST GEORGIA. I HAD PREARRANGED A TEST RIDE WITH MOUNTAIN MOTORSPORTS IN BUFORD, GA. THE MACHINE WAS PREVIOUSLY OWNED, BUT HAD LESS THAN 1000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE ISSUE: WHILE TRAVELING IN THE RIGHT-MOST LANE IN I 85 NORTH, ON CRUISE CONTROL AND TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 69 MPH, THE TRAFFIC WELL AHEAD OF ME STARTED TO SLOW DOWN. I IMMEDIATELY DISENGAGED THE CRUISE CONTROL AND BEGAN TO COAST THE MACHINE. I THEN NOTICED THE TRAFFIC AHEAD OF ME WAS STOPPED. I REACHED WITH MY RIGHT FOOT TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL. I COULD NOT 'FIND' THE BRAKE PEDAL. AT THIS POINT THE TRAFFIC AHEAD OF ME WAS STOPPED AND I WAS FORCED TO TAKE EVASIVE MANEUVERS. I BEGAN TO DOWNSHIFT FRANTICALLY AND ENTERED THE EMERGENCY SHOULDER ON THE RIGHT OF I 85. I SUCCESSFULLY PASSED SEVERAL VEHICLES ON THE RIGHT WHILE IN THE EMERGENCY SHOULDER LANE. //THANKFULLY, I WAS ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY BRING THE MACHINE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 1ST GEAR AND LESS THAN 10 MPH WITHOUT STRIKING ANY VEHICLES OR OTHER OBJECTS. //AFTER STOPPING IN THE EMERGENCY SHOULDER AND GATHERING MY COMPOSURE, I LOOKED DOWN AT THE BRAKE PEDAL. I NOTICED THAT IT HAD FLIPPED BACK (UPSIDE DOWN) AND WAS INOPERABLE. //AFTER SUCCESSFULLY GETTING THE VEHICLE TO REST AGAINST A CURB IN A CONVENIENCE STORE PARKING LOT, I INVESTIGATED THE BRAKE ISSUE MORE CLOSELY. SEE ATTACHED PICS! //AS YOU SHOULD BE AWARE, THIS SINGLE POINT OF FAILURE RENDERS THE BRAKES ON THE MACHINE COMPLETELY INOPERABLE AND LEAVES THE OPERATOR AT EXTREME RISK! //HAD I BEEN HEADING INTO A BUSY INTERSECTION, OR TRAVERSING A SERIOUS CURVE OR ANY NUMBER OF OTHER REAL, ON-ROAD SCENARIOS, I CANNOT IMAGINE WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED? I AM ONLY HAPPY TO BE ALIVE AND NOT INJURED!

COMPLAINTS OF NOT SHIFTING CORRECTLY AND ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS ALONG WITH AIR SHOCKS LEAKING AND AN OIL LEAK ECT. I WAS RIDING ON BACK COUNTRY ROAD WHEN I COULDN'T DOWN SIFT THE BIKE BEFORE GOING INTO A CORNER. HAD TO POWER STIR THE BIKE AROUND THE CORNER AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL.
