| Description of the problem | My harley davidson motorcycle was in for service for a clutch replacement and repair at wildfire harley davidson in villa park il.. After a dispute with damage that occurred to the motorcycle during its service period i went to pick up the bike to take it to another dealer for proper repairs and a second opinion. Upon leaving the parking lot the gear shift foot control lever fell off and i almost crashed the bike. Luckily the safety training i received from the riders course i took from the il dot paid off. No manager was available to speak with, and i would like to ensure that any patron of wildfire harley davidson never has to have their safety jeopardized. Poor quality control and improper release of a vehicle which is unsafe to operate when, having been told the repairs were complete is inexcusable and i am lucky to not have been injured or killed. |
