Hello!
We have purchased a few new Thomas c2’s with wheelchair accesss. As a driver I have noticed a constant problem that is found on all 3 of these I have driven.
The back end of the bus seems to float, as if it is trying to pass the front end! It is very hard to keep on the road! Another issue is very hard to make turns! It takes a lot of muscle to get the bus into a turn...it also seems like you are constantly fighting the steering wheel. One that I started driving last month is battering my hands and wrists so bad that is making my hands ache and swell.
I have reported it, yet no response yet! Could there be a manufacturer problem? All of these buses have less than 3k miles. I am refusing to drive them, it’s that bad. Anyone have the same issue? Anyone have an idea as to what might be the problem?

Thanks for any insight!
