The product, in the report: snow thrower
Purchased a new Ariens Sno Tek 24E Snow Thrower in November. Only used it twice. The second time the engine wouldn’t turn off, even after pulling the key out, flicking off the “stop” button, and turning off the fuel cutoff switch. Engine continued to run a full 15 minutes or so. Had this been an emergency, would not have been able to stop engine. This poses a serious risk. When I looked up the possible cause online, I saw that others had reported the same problem, apprently caused by a loose ground wire. No way for an average consumer to fix this.
Called Ariens headquarters. They told me this was a frequent problem and would fix under warranty. So why no recall, if it’s a defect that could potentially cause injury?
