    Did you feel anything weird before smoke came out? Happened to me one time, felt like there was something holding me back, turbo went from 0 to 25 psi on flat road, no wind.

    Anyways I wrote something a while back about utility customer service... I hope whoever is responsible of this trailer is ready to fight with them.
    One o/o bought a brand new trailer, shunter in the yard opened the trailer like a can while turning... They did not want to repair it... I mean... WTF.

    Felt a tug to the side then smoke, pulled off on the exit, I thought I had lost a cam and tosted a tire. what is seen there happened with in a mile, would of got off the road sooner but happened thur a const zone and that shoulder was gone. So took the next exit I could. We will see with utility, none the less a 275$ road call is not to bad if anything else.
