| Description of the problem | I purchased a new 2012 harley davidson at a harley davidson dealership in corith, tx. Soon after found that the abs light was coming on. I had taken it back to them to have them check it. Still had issues and had them look again. I've had issues with it since. Also took it to harley davidson dealership in sherman, tx. They had it for about two weeks. They said they replaced a wire. Still having issues told them about it several times. Little over a week ago i had a wreck in a turn because my back tire kept locking up and skidding. I had a friend following me that seen it. Now they tell me it's going to be about $11,000. 00 for repairs from the wreck. They don't want to pay for it and are trying to blame me. Asking me if i did the two year brake line flush and asked me why i was riding it if abs wasn't working. I need help. At the cost of repairs the bike may be totaled. It's important to me i keep this bike. My older brother passed away in 2012. I was riding normal just wanting to relax after having open heart surgery in march. I just want my bike fixed and feel safe to ride it. I think i've paid enough to get that. Thank you |
