2024 Ford F-150 engine problems

On 4/22/2026 while flat towing this vehicle behind my motorhome, it burst into flames. The trip began in [XXX] . Driving south on XXX, I stopped about 120 miles later at a rest stop near XXX. I did a complete walk around inspection. There were no issues, everything looked fine. We continued on and about 20 miles later another vehicle driver was telling me frantically to pull over. I looked at my rear camera and saw the Ford was smoking. This was not due to an improper neutral tow setting.

The contact owns a 2024 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, the vehicle started vibrating while depressing the accelerator pedal. The failure persisted and the vehicle jerked and hesitated without warning. The contact pulled off on the next exit and immediately contacted the dealer. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and was diagnosed with damages to 4 of the 6 cylinders. The dealer submitted a buyback request to the manufacturer which was later denied.
