The contact owns a 2008 Ford f-350. The contact stated was driving 35 mph and noticed that the engine rpms increased as smoke billowed from the exhaust. After the contact allowed the vehicle to cool down, it was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the seals were leaking to the bearings and the turbo of the emissions system had failed. The manufacture was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 34,000.
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.
