The fuel system, especially the fuel vent system is improperly installed preventing fueling of the vehicle. This line fails to vent and is pinched, causing fuel leaks and risking fire hazard. The vehicle is unable to be fueled properly, also impacting ignition and reducing fuel flow to the engine whole driving. This is a known issue with other identical vehicles having been recalled. However this vehicle has not been recalled and the dealers are selling this vehicle with a known safety hazard while lying about having fixed the issue. Our safety is at risk because the line may be pinched or punctured creating a fuel leak. Fueling the vehicle results in splashback of fuel on to the person pumping. Poor venting could result in sputtering or stalling while driving at highway speeds. The problem was reproduced by the selling dealer, by the preparation technician, acknowledged by the dealer, and again acknowledged by the Ford service technician. The Ford dealership is the only one to acknowledge that this is a problem that needs to be repaired, even though the problem was created by the RV manufacturer. Everyone is aware of this issue at the RV dealership, at the Forest River and East to West manufacturing plants as well as local ford dealerships. They are willfully selling this vehicle despite the known risk to our family's safety as well as everyone else on the road. All Ford F600 RVs made by any branch of forest river, including Dynamax and East to West should be recalled for all VINs until they hold their manufacturing team accountable for doing this correctly.
