What owners report
I purchased a 2024 F-450 Limited from Phil Long Ford of [XXX] [XXX] located in [XXX] on XXX. After noticing that I was the third (sometimes the fourth listed owner) I decided to do some further investigation on the truck's history.

n October 28th, I left Atlanta, Georgia with a load going to PittsburghâPhiladelphia. On October 29th, 2025, around 12:30 a.m., I was approximately two miles north of Birch River, West Virginia. While driving uphill at a steady speed of about 60â65 mph, I suddenly heard a loud popping sound, as if something had exploded or blown inside the engine. Right after that, the truck immediately lost power, and I pulled over to the shoulder as quickly as I could. As I was stopping, I saw flames coming through the hood directly in front of me, mostly from the driverâs side. I grabbed the fire extinguisher from inside my cab and opened the hood. On the driverâs side of the engine, I saw heavy
This is the third time I have had this issue. I will be driving my truck and will out of nowhere get a warning on the dash that says: âPre-Collision Assist not availableâ then after that happens I will not be able to set the cruise control. This can only be fixed by a trip to the dealer ship and usual takes 10-15 days to get fixed. It will work as normal for a few thousand miles than come back. It also happened approximately January 2nd with approximately 2000 and March 15th with 4000 miles.
