The outer roll stop is very slow to deploy, takes minutes. You can step on it and make it go down but that is not proper. NY bus sales has looked at it numerous times and is still extremely slow. Other districts within our area have the same problem. DOT does not have a time specification that this must deploy, but that does not make it right. This is a Braun Millenium series. Braun has offered suggestions but nothing has worked.

Emerging complaint spikes

Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.

This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.

No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.

Equal-age model-year comparison

Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.
