2009 IC 3000Body, doors & structure

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

2002 IC 3000Electrical systemEngine & coolingFuel systemFire

The fuel heater wiring on 7.3L diesel engines has had an electrical fire on 3 of our vehicles out of the 28 in operation with this engine. The connector is a push on spade with a rubber surround to hold it in place. One fire that was seen in person was small (few inches) the others were found after the fire had occurred. The fire that was viewed occurred when the vehicle was parked, first start of the day and less than 10 minutes idle time. I believe the rubber surround does not properly support the terminal and creates a loose connection that arcs and overheats the rubber, then igniting the small fire.
