Hi This is my first post, for information on a Kubota 2100 with a failed transmission. I am seeking some information from owners/repairers on other failures.
I am based in Australia and have a 2007 GR2100 with only 350 hrs ,when the transmission failed due to the common bearing failure problem which affected the HST, Unlike in the US ,Kubota Australia did not conduct any extended warranty program or factory repair program , so customers have had no notification of the potential issues ,and they have told us it is $5100 USD to repair the transmission
Whilst Kubota Australia has admitted that they are aware of the problem they did not see it necessary to conduct a recall or service program, I am disputing this with Kubota Australia and hence would like some information from other owners around the globe, as Australia has some strong government regulations which forces companies to issue recalls based on local and overseas cases where a product has a significant fault which could endanger the operator ,so I am seeking assistance in this endeavour to provide evidence to our authorities.
Specifically if any owners have experienced dangerous situations due to their transmission failures ie due to our transmission failure we have lost all steering control and brakes on the mower which would have been a major issue if it occurred on a hill, do any other owners have any situations where they experienced a failure on hills or other dangerous areas.
Also if any owners have details of how Kubota notified you of the extended warranty program or other notification programs regarding the transmission faults.
Any assistance would be appreciated in our attempt to get Kubota to acknowledge their faulty transmission and address the issue for us and other private owners who have machines and are un-aware of this common fault,
