2024 IC Bus PB105Fuel system

Fuel splash back when filling and multiple evap codes. It is the fuel cap and driver needs to push down on cap to seat it, but it clicks for being tight before it is seated. It will give a fuel smell on the bus when it runs the evap test then the kids report it to the driver and the check engine light comes on. We have multiple others that will splash back fuel when filling. These are all gas powered buses.

2023 IC Bus PB105SuspensionElectrical systemBody, doors & structure

K Neal International delivered an unsafe school bus to me. The bus leaks when it rains; onto the seats and students. The stop arm malfunctioned; staying in the open/on position, causing confusion for other drivers. This turned out to be an electrical relay problem. The driver side window has a gap in it large enough for a small animal to get through. When it's windy out, the entry door opens on it's own while driving along. This is a brand new 2023 school bus. Why are these things happening to a supposed...

brand new bus. Also, my suspension has already begun to leak. NHTSA doesn't have any recall information listed for my VIN, but I've received recall paperwork from IC Bus, LLC/Navistar about a recall on the hex flange lock nut. Why do you, NHTSA, not have this recall listed??? This school bus is unsafe, and K Neal International Navistar needs to be held accountable. Their products and workmanship are far under par; and definitely unsuitable for student transportation. Please do something about them before students and drivers and the public get hurt.

2019 IC Bus PB105Transmission & drivetrainEngine & cooling

The bus was on the highway getting up to speed when the transmission had an electric component fail and that caused the loss of engine power with no throttle response. The vehicle coasted to a stop and had no way to move the vehicle at all. We have sister buses that this has happened to also but it has been at a parking lot or in our lot we have 5 more of these buses. If this happens in an intersection or approaching an interstate highway there is no way to move the bus other than a tow truck . Eaton transmission...

has a replacement part to fix this issue but there is no recall or service bulletin on this issue.These are low mileage units with 20,000 - 30,0000 miles on them. The part that fails is a magnet in a plastic holder that gets brittle and falls apart or the magnet breaks apart causing the same results of not being able to move the vehicle under its own power. According to the bus company, they have had the same problem in other bus companies with the same transmissions. We have not received the invoices on wok preformed from the warranty department yet.
