Consumer Description

MY 2008 FORD F150 WAS SITTING IN MY DRIVE WAY UNTIL I HAD TO LEAVE TO GO RUN ERRANDS. I GOT IN IT, TURNED THE KEY AND THERE WAS FIRE COMING OUT OF THE EXHAUST PIPE. I THINK IT STARED IN THE ENGINE BECAUSE OF HOW HOT IT WAS MINUTES AFTER I TURNED THE KEY. PLEASE LET PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THIS. I DO NOT WANT TO SEE PEOPLE BEING HARMED BY THIS. IM POSITIVE THAT IF I HADN'T TURNED IT OFF AS QUICKLY AS I DID THE ENGINE WOULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE AND THE TRUCK WOULD HAVE BEEN RUINED, THROWING AWAY ALL THE MONEY THAT I BOUGHT IT FOR. AND WASTING ALL THE TIME THAT I CUD HAVE USED THE TRUCK FOR HAULING AND ROAD TRIPS. THANK YOU. *TR
