Tl*the contact owns a 2007 ducati 1098s tricolor. Almost everytime the contact accelerates from a stop, the motorcycle stalls. He must restart the engine for the vehicle to properly accelerate. The most recent failure occurred while riding 5 MPH. The failure has not caused any crashes, but a few close calls have occurred from vehicles almost rear ending him due to not taking off at lights. The contact is also very concerned about an engine oil leakage. The engine oil was sucked into the airbox through the breather of the vehicle. There was so much oil in the engine that it began to leak out of the airbox, directly beneath the vehicle. This caused a dangerous situation for when the vehicle attempted to accelerate. The vehicle is also experiencing brake rotor failure. The brake rotors were rubbing against the brake discs, which caused a loud grinding noise and wore out the brake pads. The vehicle was taken to the dealer on numerous occasions, but the only repair that was performed was the cleaning of the airbox. The dealer cleaned out all of the oil, but the leak continued. The airbox was refilled with oil. The contact called the dealer to obtain recall information and was informed that none were available for his vehicle. Through online research, he discovered three recalls on the same model vehicle. He also learned that numerous people were experiencing the same failures, in which some LED to death.
