NHTSA complaint 10716658MY BUS DRIVER HAS A 2015 BLUE BIRD ALL AMERICAN FE. HIS ROUTES INVOLVE MANY HALF-SHARP LEFT TURNS (+ ROADS). I HAVE NOTICED, WHEN HE TURNS THE STEERING WHEEL MAKES A MOANING SOUND. IT ISN'T LOUD, BUT IT IS ENOUGH TO NOTICE IT BEING HEARD UP IN THE FRONT. THE MOANING SOUND DOESN'T HAPPEN WHEN HE TURNS RIGHT. I WONDER IF THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH SOMETHING IN THE STEERING, OR WHAT, BUT IT IS CONCERNING ME A SMALL BIT. *TR
