THERE ARE NUMEROUS SERVICE BULLETINS ON QUANTUM'S WEBSITE, WWW.QTWW.COM , UNDER PRODUCTS AND SERVICE BULLETINS THAT SAY MANY DIFFERENT PARTS OF THEIR FUEL SYSTEMS WILL FAIL. IT ALSO STATES THAT THEIR BRACKET SYSTEM HOLDING THE TANKS IN PLACE WILL ALLOW THE HIGH PRESSURE TANKS TO MOVE LATERALLY THAT COULD CAUSE A RUPTURE IN THE FUEL LINES OR THE TANK ITSELF. I HAVE CONTACTED THEM TO HAVE THE PARTS REPLACED AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO CHANGE THEM OR TELL ME HOW I CAN MAKE MY SYSTEMS SAFE FOR MY EMPLOYEES TO OPERATE. I HAVE A HUGE CONCERN FOR THE SAFETY OF MY EMPLOYEES WHILE OPERATING THESE SYSTEMS UNTIL THE PARTS THAT WILL POSSIBLY FAIL HAVE BEEN REPLACED. IN ADDITION THEY ARE NOT FOLLOWING THE NFPA 52 GUIDELINES FOR THE LOCATION OF THE PRD VENTS WHICH IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE AND THE CURRENT LOCATION OF THE VENTS WOULD DISCHARGE FUEL DIRECTLY INTO THE FLAMES. THEY CURRENTLY ARE STILL NOT FOLLOWING THE GUIDELINES AS OF TODAY. AS I'M SURE YOU CAN UNDERSTAND MY CONCERNS AND WOULD LIKE TO H

THE DEFROST DOORS IN THE T680 IS WEAK AND BREAKS OFTEN LEAVING THE DRIVER WITHOUT ANY DEFROST CAUSING HIS VISIBILITY TO DECREASE IN AN UNSAFE MANNER. KENWORTH HAS BEEN UNWILLING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND REPAIR IT. WHEN I CONTACTED OUR DISTRICT SERVICE MANAGER HE KNEW THE PART NUMBER OF THE REPLACEMENT DOOR ASSEMBLY FROM MEMORY AND STATED IN AN EMAIL BACK TO ME THAT KENWORTH HAS IDENTIFIED THE ISSUE AND IS WORKING TO FIX IT ON FUTURE MODELS. LABOR TO REPAIR THIS IS OVER $3000 AND THE PART IS ANOTHER $886. WE HAVE 12 OF THESE VEHICLES, SO FAR 5 OF THE 12 HAVE BROKEN LEAVING MORE THAN ONE DRIVER STRUGGLING TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY BEFORE HIS WINDOW FOGGED UP SO BAD HE BECAME UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE VEHICLES ARE IN MOTION WHEN THESE DEFROST DOORS BREAK AND IT CREATES A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION AS TRUCKS CAN NOT JUST PULL OVER ANY SPOT THEY CHOOSE ON THE HIGHWAYS AND WAIT FOR A WINDOW TO THAW OUT. THERE ARE 2 ISSUES THAT HAPPEN ON THESE DOORS. 1 THE DOOR IS OVERFLEXED BY THE ELECTRIC ACTUATOR
