Drivers windows fog up and get iced up constantly. Most of the time wipers have to be jumpstarted to work at all.drivers are not allowed to fill out defect reports.doors have to be locked shut with passengers in them, creating horribly unsafe conditions.
Greyhound also found ancillary fuel system components such as fuel heater as another recurring source of bus fires. Typically, an electrical spark ignites diesel fuel in these incidents. (make: motor coach ind model: 102d3 years: 1997-2001).
