2021 POLARIS SLINGSHOT R
ID: 2096321POWER TRAIN
During a 150-mile ride, I experienced that while braking for a stop or a traffic slowdown, this unit shifted into neutral, and all of the dash warning lights came on at the same time. This happened 5 times during the ride. I had to coast to the side of the road, shut down, and restart the engine. Once, almost being rear-ended by a vehicle, and I didn't have the power to get to the side of the road. Once this occurs, the unit will not allow you to shift it at all without a shutdown and restart, it is stuck in neutral until this is done. To me, this is creating a dangerous situation of possibly being rear-ended in traffic by not being able to get out of the way because of no propulsion. This bike has had electrical issues since new with the ride command system, which has been worked on several times and is still not fixed to this day, Polaris has replaced the radio head and amplifier under a goodwill adjustment.
