2 complaints about the 2002 Blue Bird Buses
Newest first, as filed with NHTSA by owners.
We have several bluebird busses from years 1993 through 2002....We are continually breaking the rear brake lines, having replaced up to 6 lines on some buses with under 100,000 miles. When they break all fluid is pumped from the lines there by losing all braking. These busses are built on a chevrolet chassis...Have approached chevrolet before with no help...Someone is going to get hurt or worse with this design.*Jb
