Polaris ATVs

ATV 2020, has less than 200 hours with extended 4 year warranty. After about 6 months engine sometimes appeared to stop on compression stroke when trying to restart the engine would not rotate, you have to keep turning the ignition key several times to get past TDC and then engine would start normally. Problem got steadily worse, installed new larger battery, checked charging and wiring etc but problem still persists. Spoken to three Polaris dealers who all said it's a common problem and something you just have to live with.

We purchased our 2022 RZR pro XP ultimate in Sept of last year (technically we purchased it in June but that's another story). I purchased this after researching between Canam and Polaris as well as looking at size dimensions for our toy hauler trailer. We ended up going with RZR for the overall cost, dynamic suspension, and what we thought was the backing of Polaris for the products they manufacture. Due to when we actually received the sxs our riding season was cut a bit shorter than we had wanted, but supply chain problems are experienced by everyone these days it seems.

Have had nothing but problems and stop ride notification from Polaris. Their clutches are blowing apart and don’t seem too worried about fixing them. Just park your $25,000 machine in the garage and look at it is basically what I got from them. 6 weeks after the stop ride it’s still, "We are doing our best." They have zero customer service skills or worried about keeping their customers happy or satisfied. Will never buy anything Polaris again. Honda will be my next purchase for sure.

Bought brand new and started having small issues with the trim where the adhesive started wearing down. Happened multiple times and it's due to deformed panel where the trim will not fully contact the surface. Polaris Industries communicated with the local dealer but not sure why they keep have miscommunications. I ended up with rusted seat brackets sitting at the local dealer for over a week and without any communication from both of the parties. Zero customer loyalty. How are they in business? I wish they'd just send me the panel and let bygones be bygones. Lost total trust and will never own Polaris products. Hope no one went through same issues as I did. I've wasted so much time.

Bought extended warranty for peace of mind and when you have a major problem they don't want to cover. Have a 2018 general 4 1000 with 1900 miles check fluid often and all at once transmission goes out. They tell us we neglected maintenance and wouldn't cover.

We bought a new 2016 Polaris 570 sportsman for my father, he hardly rides it but when he does it blows fuses for power steering and the Check engine light comes on, this went on for years, now with 590 miles on it keeps shutting off, took it to the dealership in St. Mary’s PA. They had it for a month brought it back and said it was a bad throttle cable and charged us $500, the first ride after it was doing the same thing! They came and got it and are telling us they can’t figure it out and are just going to replace the whole wiring harness. This will cost over a 1000 dollars! Never again will I purchase a Polaris product or buy anything from this dealership!

I purchased a brand new 2021 850 May of 2021 and had to take it back because of a bad instrument cluster and then a couple of months later it started smoking and I could smell oil. I took it back to the dealer and they said it has too much oil and they drained some out and now I am facing an engine rebuild cause con rod bearing has spun out and attached to the crank and Polaris said it is out of warranty and there's nothing they can do about it, some I am paying out of pocket.

Brought my brand new Polaris 850 trail home and noticed right away that the front axle was squeaking. Now I’m just waiting for it to break down. This is not something that I would expect from Polaris. I spent the extra money on a name brand to avoid a cheaply made product, and I ended up with one anyway.

I have a 2018 Polaris Ranger 1000 XP and was having some shifting issues which unfortunately left me stranded in the bush! I found out that there was a recall on the machine for quite some time, but no one from Polaris had called me even though they knew the product had the issue. Now they are saying the recall has expired and they will not cover me, they say it's under my own due diligence to look up the recall and get it fixed, that's where I'm not too happy.

Purchased a 2018 new XP 1000. The ranger stated off the bat with a seal in the clutch housing. Leaking oil and throwing belts. Then front A arm bolt fell out twice left me stranded in the woods. Last to least the top end of the motor is now bad, blew a valve and a piston burning oil like no other. Now I am stuck with a fairly new expensive machine that I can not drive or enjoy. I am very very disappointed and will not recommend anyone to purchase any Polaris products. Not made with quality and longevity.
