File date	02/12/16
Component	VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	While driving at normal road speed, my forward speed suddenly drops from 60 mph down to 25 mph, then 5 or 6 mph on a highway. My right grip throttle control fails to work. The bike's etc, electronic-throttle-control, fails to communicate with my bike's computer or throttle-body. I have to limp home on the open road. This is dangerous. I've suffered 4 separate failures of my etc throttle control. Once at daytime, but 3 times at night. Someone from behind traveling at 45 or 55 or more might slam into me at night as my red taillight is on. I could easily get killed. My harley dealership knew of this failing as i called their senior tech the very first time the etc failed during rushour on a congested highway. After i got safely off the highway, the har-dav tech walked me through a computer diagnostic check. This worked for a couple of weeks, then 3 more etc fails at night on hwy 27 and county-roads and 1 city street while straight-driving. Frightening. Called triple-a & had my 2017, 5 month old bike towed backed to the har-dav shop. They report "no issues found." four throttle failures ? I don't buy their response. I told them to keep the bike & fix it. Also, asked them to call har-dav milwaukee for answers. They did not call. I had to call milwaukee & report this dangerous issue. Please help before i get killed on hwy 27, fl.
