We (kuna school dist.)have 18 of these ihc buses 2009-2014 that all have the same emergancy windows. They unlatch themselves every time you hit a bump. It sounds the buzzer. I have contacted rush in boise for 2 years now for a fix. Nobody can get them to fix this problem. This is a safty issue and should be recalled. They will have to redisign the window. They have stopped using this style since. This tells me there is a problem that they know about. Please help us. Thank you

I replaced the oem front ksma2124702qp meritor brakes with the new ksma20014702qp reduced stopping distance meritor front brakes and after only 1060 miles saw the lining material moving (back and forth movement) on the steel table when applying and releasing the foot brake with 95psi in system while looking through the backing plate! Appearing to be loose rivets holding material to steel table! Called meritor representitive and informed him they were loose! Was told to remove them and install new ones! Removed front meritor brakes ksma20014702qp and installed oem ksma2124702qp on 5-30-12 and all ok at this time!
