I came to a stop sign I had no breaks and after putting emergency break on (which broke) the light came on which said breaks!! I have never felt so unsafe in a car then I do with this one. Last summer out for a drive my back driver side tire area was smoking so I pulled over and thought my car was on fire! Once again had it towed! It was the break hose so they thought and replaced it and found it was the caliber, I just spent 3hrs waiting at shop to have that fixed and come to think of it, I've spent alot more time at shop on the other fixed parts, I know cars need things replaced from wear&tear but give me a break and im not laughing about this either! Now im out of my car again and asking for rides to work again because I have no brakelines. Thanks so very much for maybe reading this! [[redacted]] p.S. Please send through mail any recalls because I have never got any! Thank you information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.S.C. 552(B)(6). *Tr

accepted them by the end of december to enable the company to get paid. Through the month of jan., We continued to fine tune the problems. Finally, we started road testing them on feb. 19. On march 21, we had one catch fire and nearly burn to the ground. After disabling the component thought to be the culprit, we continued to road test the buses. In april we had another fire in a different area of the bus. Again all buses have been deadlined. In addition, the new buses, all with less than 4,000 miles, have been towed from the open road 4 times when they have failed. Nabi has sent 3 technicians out and the buses continue to fail. *Tr
