Suspension problem

I purchased this vehicle 3 weeks ago from carmax brooklyn park, mn. Within 50 miles of driving, the vehicle threw a Ford diagnostic trouble code p1450 indicating a unable to bleed up fuel tank vacuum( excessive vacuum in the fuel tank). This defect causes an improper fuel tank vacuum, presenting an immediate engine stalling hazard at highway speeds. Concurrently, the vehicle has a very noticeable floorboard/chassis vibration at 60+ mph when releasing the foot of accelerator, making highway operation highly unstable. Carmax's warranty service department at brooklyn park has actively denied authorization to let me use a certified repairpal partner facility located 10 minutes from my house. Instead, they are explicitly demanding that I drive this defective, stall-risk vehicle on the highway for over 45 minutes to their brooklyn park dealership to receive warranty service. Forcing a consumer to drive a vehicle with a known highway powertrain vibration and a critical evap vacuum fault creates an immediate, severe highway safety hazard.
