Yamaha acceleration problems
Owners have filed 149 complaints with NHTSA about the throttle and cruise control on Yamaha vehicles — 6% of everything reported about the brand, across 29 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Yamaha YZFR1, worst in 2007.
These are raw counts. A model that sold in millions appears near the top for that reason alone — the grade never compares one model with another.
