HONDA GL1800 2002 car safety problem was reported on June 30, 2002.HONDA GL1800 2002, manufactured by HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.) had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM . this new generation honda goldwing motorcyle released for model year 2001 has a cooling design defect that causes the engine to dangerously overheat when caught in stop and go traffic conditions. yesterday, (june 30, 2002) myself and two others also having 2002 goldwings were returning from a trip and found ourselves in a major traffic backup in a road construction area on us interstate 35 south of minneapolis, minnesota. all 3 goldwings overheated in the stop and go, single lane conditions. there was nowhere for any of us to safely pull over to shut the motorcycles off to cool. we were ultimately forced to drive on the narroe temporary right shoulder at high enough speeds to allow the rushing air to cool the engine enough to keep it from blowing up. this was extremely dangerous as those caught in the traffic backup thought we were trying to drive on the shoulder to ellude the congestion and people started pulling their vehicles out in front of us as we proceeded along the shoulder strip. this is a widespread condition with this specific model bike that honda is fully aware of yet refuses to do anything about. they won't even acknowledge that there is a problem. honda's customer service personnel have been instructed to tell everyone calling in about this issue to not worry about riding it with the temperature needle in the red zone unless it spews coolant...even though the coolant overflow tube discharges the coolant on the ground directly in front of the rear wheel, which is also a huge safety issue as the antifreeze can cause the rear tire to lose grip on the roadway. by officiallty advising us all to just keep riding with the temperature needle in the red zone, honda is directly contradicting the directive in the owners manual that states if the temperature needle enters the red to zone to immediately pull over and shut the vehicle off. continuing to drive will void the warranty. i hope you will help us all. it's hard to fight a big co without help!*.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1HFSC47062A.

HONDA GL1800 2002 car safety problem was reported on July 22, 2002.HONDA GL1800 2002, manufactured by HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.) had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM . this is a motorcycle related problem. there are a number of owners of 2001-2002 goldwings that are experiencing overheating problems. this is a potentially serious problem. spewed coolant could cause loss of control. a seized engine on the expressway could spell disaster. there is a design flaw with this m/c. the cooling fans blow forward at speeds around 10 or 15 miles per hour. if these speeds are sustained (traffic problems related to dot or accident), the bike overheats because the incoming air is cancelled out by the forward blowing fans causing stagnant air around around the radiators. honda basically refuses to acknowledge a design flaw and blames it on the gauge. the nhtsa needs to go beyond honda's stonewalling and check this situation out before someone riding this m/c is hurt as a result of the overheating engine and cooling system. thanks. *ak.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1HFSC4706A1.

HONDA GL1800 2002 car safety problem was reported on Aug 13, 2002.HONDA GL1800 2002, manufactured by HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.) had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM . when stuck in slow moving traffic going into the city the coolant temp gauge went deep into the red. with nowhere safe to pull off the road i was forced to proceed with the fear of the engine boiling over. after looking online at the gl1800 web sites it appears that this is caused by faulty manufacturing. honda designed the radiator fans to blow the air foward up to a speed of 15 mph. any faster than that they are designed to shut off and allow the ambient air to push through the radiators in the normal direction. apparently this was done to try to keep some heat off of the rider at low speeds. however, when you are in travelling 10mph in warm conditions the 10mph incoming air is fighting against the air from the fans. this causes little or no air going across the radiator fins, thus causing the overheating condition. if the bike is stopped on the shoulder, the fans will push the air foward and allow the bike to slowly cool down. there is not always a shoulder to pull onto, and if the bike overheats the coolant overflow from the radiators is aimed directly in front of the rear wheel. a situation that can certainly cause loss of control and possible serious injury or death. the fans need to be mounted on the other side of the radiators so they can pull the air through. in the direction that nature intended. will it take someone getting killed for them to remedy this. i certainly hope not, but so far they are in denial that this is a problem. i feel that this vehicle is unsafe to ride. i am not willing to risk me and my wifes life. this vehicle was bought with pleasure in mind. if nothing is done to alleviate this i will have honda buy the bike back from me with new jerseys tough lemon law..Mileage was 3427 miles.

HONDA GL1800 2002 car safety problem was reported on Oct 01, 2007.HONDA GL1800 2002, manufactured by HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.) had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING . my motorcycle was subject to the june 2003 engine cooling campaign which included replacement of the ecm and other adjustments. i had my bike repaired on july 30, 2003 at honda of milpitas (r/o 94030949). since the campaign repairs were done, the bike has had a surging problem at 1500 rpm. when riding, or if the bike is stationary, when i open the throttle to 1500 rpm, the engine speed drops to 1000 rpm and then jumps back to 1500 rpm. this will go on for as long as i hold the throttle at 1500 rpm. while this is not a problem when the bike is stationary, it is a big problem when riding. when riding in parking lots, in traffic or when making low speed turns, i frequently run the engine around 1500 rpm and when i hit that rpm, the engine speed drops without warning. on several occasions i have almost dropped the bike in a sharp turn when the engine speed dropped. since i cannot safely watch the tachometer and the road at the same time, it's very hard to drive around that engine speed. not only is this behavior annoying while riding, it's also dangerous as i could be injured if the bike fell when the engine speed dropped. i took the bike back to honda of milpitas in june 2004 to have them look at the problem. both the service manager and the technician confirmed the problem but said it was an ecm mapping problem and that american honda would not authorize them any time to troubleshoot and repair the problem (r/o 94034826). *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 4500 miles.
