2009 bluebird all american re bus. Consumer writes in regards to engine problems. *smd the consumer stated six buses were equipped with the caterpillar c-7 engine and acert technology. The technology was used to make the engines comply with the emission standards. However, whenever the system had a problem, there was reduced power from the engine, which happened at any given time. Over the past three years, the buses have been out of service over 1100 days. The buses would be picked up from the dealer and would break down before being returned to the school.

We have blue bird busses with ce white student safety seats with three point seat belts. The seat backs have styrofoam in them for some of the padding the problem is that the bigger students don?T fit in the small space between seats and their knees break the styrofoam up after a short time, leaving the foam broke up in little pieces at the bottom of the seat. I don?T think these are fmvss 222 compliant with the styrofoam in the bottom one third of the seat. We purchase new ones but they are the same thing and break up after a short time. I have complained to blue bird and ce white and sent pictures. They said they will look into it and the seat is under warranty for one year. My last correspondence was march 6th of 2013; they still sell the same cushion. There needs to be a different material besides styrofoam for the padding in these seat backs. *tr
