My CFMOTO 250NK’s Engine Seized Despite Warranty

My CFMOTO 250NK motorcycle, which is fully under warranty and has been regularly serviced, experienced a serious failure while I was riding—its engine...

On December 26, 2025, I purchased a brand-new CFMOTO CF 450 L ATV from Motocity İsmail Bilek Pazarlama A.Ş., Çorlu branch. After using the vehicle for only five days, I experienced a front brake fluid leak and returned the ATV to the authorized CFMOTO service center in Çorlu on December 29, 2025.
Experiencing a brake-related issue in such a short time on a brand-new vehicle was already concerning, but the way the process has been handled has caused even greater frustration. When I delivered the ATV to the service center, I clearly stated that I expected a replacement. However, I received no updates.
For a full 45 days, no one contacted me. When I called to follow up, I was told that the issue allegedly resulted from using the vehicle with the parking brake engaged and that it would not be covered under warranty. I was informed that repairs could be completed for $165.
To avoid further delays, I agreed to pay the $165. Despite being told that payment was pending, no repair has been completed and my ATV has still not been returned to me.
During this time, I spoke with CFMOTO and the dealership at least five times by phone. Each time, I was told that they were waiting for parts from the factory. Meanwhile, I was not properly informed that the issue had supposedly been excluded from warranty coverage.
Although I completed all registration, license plate, and insurance procedures, I have neither received proper communication nor the delivery of my vehicle.
Because I purchased this ATV brand new, was only able to use it for five days, and have since been left waiting while it remains at the service center, I have completely lost confidence in the product and the company. Due to the inconvenience and loss of trust, I am no longer requesting a repair. I am demanding a full refund of the purchase price.
In accordance with my warranty and consumer protection rights, I request that my refund be processed promptly and in full.

I bought a brand-new CF625 ATV from the 2023 model year. However, after only 100 kilometers of use, the ATV became stuck in the locked position. Soon after, the digital display began to melt like water droplets from within. Additionally, the rear differential began to jump. All of these issues occur...

Dear CFMOTO, I am writing to express my deep frustration with the countless issues I’ve experienced with my CFMOTO 250SR motorcycle—despite it being brand new, under warranty, and purchased with care in August 2024 for ₺170,000 in cash.

I took my Honda CL 250 motorcycle, which I bought new in July 2024, to Nazilli Aysan on May 7, 2025, due to a malfunction. They diagnosed the problem for a week. They then told me there was a problem with the engine block and that a part would be replaced under warranty. Although the normal delivery...
