Yamaha transmission problems
Owners have filed 858 complaints with NHTSA about the transmission on Yamaha vehicles — 34% of everything reported about the brand, across 76 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Yamaha Road Star, worst in 2003.
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.
