I have tried parking it in various locations and no matter where I park it, it always disappears when I do this quest.
The original ATV (the one without the skull) does not disappear. Personally, I prefer driving the Wasteland ATV to the dunebuggy, so I hope there is a way to resolve this.
I don't think this has anything to do with my hardware or drivers, but in case it's helpful, here are my specs:
