| Suspension problems |
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.
While driving the vehicle (since 02/02/19), there is a constant vibration that feels like I'm driving on rumble strips over newly paved roads. When on patched roads, the vehicle shakes so violently, that it feels like the vehicle is going to fall apart. No pics to show or sound from the vehicle. There have been multiple trips the dealership, who initially reported it was a problem with flat spots in the tires, however, after they we changed (with tires from another vehicle on the lot) the problem continued. The next reason was �that the vibration was intrinsic to the vehicle. � the dealer has �rebalanced the tires multiple times� which only changes the speed at which the vibration is felt the greatest. The range of speed is 25-50, is less intense from 50-60, and resumes intensity from 60+.
