Consumer Description

1/1/10 ISN'T THE FIRST SMOG-OUT, BUT DEFINITELY THE WORST & MOST DANGEROUS. WHILE DECENDING FROM THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN IN GATLINBURG IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC WHERE IT TOOK 45-60 MINS TO GO 2 MILES, THE EXHAUST CLEANING WAS BLOWING SUFFOCATING AND BLINDING BLUE SMOKE CONTINUOUSLY. THEN GOING THROUGH TOWN WHERE PEOPLE ARE WALKING UP & DOWN BESIDE THE ROAD (STILL IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC) IT WAS STILL SMOGGING THE PEOPLE WALKING AND PEOPLE DRIVING BEHIND ME COULD NOT SEE. IF A MOTORCYCLE OR PERSON ENDED UP BESIDE US WHEN WE HAD TO STOP FOR TRAFFIC LIGHTS, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN SEVERELY BURNED. IT CONTINUED TO CLEAN DOWN TO PIGEON FORGE FOR A TOTAL OF 1-1/2 TO 2 HOURS. FORD ENGINEER WAS SUPPOSED TO RECALIBRATE TO MAKE SURE IT DIDN'T CLEAN IF UNDER 35 MPH, BUT IT DOES IT ALL THE TIME, SOMETIMES DAY AFTER DAY FOR HOURS. *TR
