What 2015 Blue Bird All American owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
My bus driver has a 2015 blue bird all american fe. His routes involve many half-sharp left turns (+ roads). I have noticed, when he turns the steering wheel makes a moaning sound. It isn't loud, but it is enough to notice it being heard up in the front. The moaning sound doesn't happen when he turns right. I wonder if this is a problem with something in the steering, or what, but it is concerning me a small bit.
Vehicle arrived to dealership with loose bolts holding the fuel tanks to the body structure. 5 bolts were only hand tightened. Fuel tanks could have come out of the supports and fallen on the road and/or caused a fire.
