NHTSA Complaint #10129537 — 1999 BLUE BIRD TC2000

1. EVENTS LEADING TO FAILURE WERE NONE, BUS WAS RUNNING FINE AND JUST STOPPED 2. THE SCHOOL BUS WAS BEING USED ON A REGULAR ROUTE AND JUST QUIT RUNNING WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD WITH NO WARNING. 3. WE HAD TO REPLACE BOTH THE ELECTRIC LIFT PUMP AS WELL AS VP-44 INJECTOR PUMP VEHICLE IS NOW UNDER RECALL #05E-007 FOR REPLACEMENT OF LIFT PUMP AND POSSIBLY THE VP-44 INJECTOR PUMP. MY COMLAINT REVOLVES AROUND THE FACT THAT CUMMINS WILL NOT REIMBURSE THE SCHOOL SYSTEM FOR THE VP-44 PUMP THAT WAS REPLACED ON 11/15/2004 DUE TO FAILURE THAT I FEEL IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE CURRENT RECALL. I FEEL THAT THEY SHOULD REIMBURSE USE FOR PARTS THAT WERE PUT ON THE VEHICLE TO CORRECT PROBLEM THAT THEY ARE CURRENTLY FIXING. JUST BECAUSE OUR PROBLEM OCCURRED 7 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE OFFICIAL RECALL SHOULD NOT ALLOW THEM TO GET OUT OF THEIR RESPONSIBILITY FOR REPLACMENT.
