Description of the problem	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.
