That doesn't sound good, it sounds like a part is loose in the motor, I would personally return it. I bought 2 and they hummed and purred, there was no grinding noise at all. Hope this helps.

It is kind of noisy - like alot of gears grinding, but no vibration. Once it's in the water it is pretty quiet. I'm not sure if that's what you're hearing, but if it sounds like something is wrong and it's vibrating there may be a problem with the motor.

I'm on my second Ninja Master Prep, and have never had this problem. It sounds like a factory problem. I would call the store you bought it from (Target took back my first one when the motor quit working after the first month), and if they won't return/exchange for you, then contact the company. http://www.ninjakitchen.com/ If they don't take care of you, then use Facebook and Twitter to get their attention.

I'm waiting for my second replacement unit now. They've already acknowledged that this is a design defect and that the project has been redesigned. Contact customer service again, request another replacement and ask for the redesigned unit instead. There's nothing you're doing wrong and I'm not aware of a way to fix this. I took the first one apart and it's just cheaply made with plastic gears and an undersized motor that don't hold up.

Sounds like the jets are clogged! Our cleaner stopped working after 5 hours use and they send up a new one-apparently no parts avblfor this model??? Strange!

I had similar issues. I found if you rocked it back and forth a little it went in easier. I have also gone into reverse, let it move a little back, then put it into drive. That helped. I got mine reconditioned, but it was brand new with a scrape in the paint. So I just assumed something else may have been wrong. But it sounds like it may be more common than I thought. I am hoping with more use it gets easier, but not too hard to rock it a little. Good luck, hope it helps.

Just contact Hasbro ASAP - this is a defect in the product, and they will replace it. It's a little gross as you have to decapitate it and send back the head, they then send you a whole new pony. Our new pony worked just fine, still does, 2 years later. The grinding clicking ones are just defective, that's all.

Check to see that both brake levers are working properly. If they are squeezed even a little the scooter will not run. Hope this helps someone.

Not sure never had this problem. Sounds like the drive cable/rod is not engaging.

I've had to replace several of them. I emailed the manufacturer and every time they sent me a coupon for a free one. Then they said it was the last time they would send me one. I even offered to mail them the broken one. Now when it happens, I take the screws out of the bottom of the unit and rotate the gear wheels and it seems to free up the stuck gear/motor. NOTE: You will need to get a TORX type of screwdriver size T-9 to remove the screws.It will work for a while, but then the problem comes back. When I get tired of doing this I'll go get another one. I like the product as it really keeps the showers clean but the dispenser should have been designed better. Hope this helps. I've had to replace several of them.

There doesn't seem to be any options in the software that inhibit the wheel from moving like that. I would guess its a hardware issue, maybe something is stuck or broken. Perhaps opening it up could help you find out (if it doesnt void the warrantythat is, if it does then contact customer service)

Had a similar problem, scooter would ruin fine then stall, just as yours would idle fine. My problem was the original scooter air filter, would not allow enough air to the carb at higher speed, took the orig filter off the scooter, scooter ran great without the filter, so replaced with a new paper type cone filter, problem solved. Air filter might be your problem, not carb.

That is a flaw in the design. I had two go on me. Depending on the age of the machine, you can contact Amazon.com for a defective unit and they will arrange for a replacement cable to be sent to you. With the second defective cable, they sent me a whole new scooter and had me return the defective to them (Amazon). Excellent customer service and better than trying to get anywhere with Drive, the manufacturer.

Traxxas sent out a replacement driveshaft. Broke on first battery. Their suggestion was to upgrade the driveshafts to metal. The hobby shop took care of the motor and speed controller. If they hadn't I would've been out $100, half the cost of a new one through traxxas.

I am having trouble with wheels turning freely , so we have reversed washer to the inside of the wheel. It still is having trouble turning freely. In General it does well on sand if our wheels will keep turning. JA

I'm going through turn servo arms and sheer pins on the axles. The rear axle is clicking and sounds like a gear skip. I have 2 of these and it's been a lot of bench time working on them. I like the way they crawl but it's been order after order for parts.

I had the same problem at first. However there are bolts and octogon bolts. It doesn't specify in directions to use octogon bolts as that is the shape of the end caps. Once I removed the bolts and put the octogon bolts in it took a little extra muscle, but it worked.

Tammy,I figured out after that happened to me was to get the motor running and pour the mixture in using the slot in the top. I haven't had any more trouble with it sticking. It does seem to freeze up quicker than the time it says in the booklet. I scrap it out with a rubber spatula and put it in a container to finish in the freezer. I got a good hint from another web site to put a little acholol ( rum or tequila)in it to keep it from freezing rock hard. Hope this helps
