    The product, in the report: VK 457 Fire sprinklers throughout the house are defective and go off without warning

    I have defective fire sprinklers throughout my new home which go off without warning and it has nothing to do w heat sensitivity. The model is Viking VK457 and it is throughout my Lennar home built in 2016. Already 4 homes, neighbors have had their house damaged to great depths. I have 4 children, all under the age of 5, one being just 7 months, plus animals. As the fire sprinklers goes off and ruins/destroys not only personal but property damages but can also cause personal injury. Not only to myself, but my 4 helpless children, one having autism and my small kittens. I need these defective fire sprinklers to be replaced throughout the house immediately. I have contacted 3 times Lennar builders and have failed to get a response. I will be contacting Viking Corp., Scott as well. This is an ongoing issue, with all the homeowners in WEST PARK area of Roseville as the fire sprinklers are a ticking time bomb.... wait to exploded.
