2023 FORD F-250 SD Engine Problems

I was on an overpass in the left hand lane doing 40-45mpg getting ready to make a left hand turn on an expressway on ramp. I coasted for just a bit and applied the brakes gently, then a little more. The truck was not slowing down like it should have so I applied alot more brake pedal pressure and it slowed down some then it down shifted several times and the engine was roaring, I'm guessing around 3K rpms or more and pulling me forwards. I put as much pressure as I could on the brake pedal and got it down to 4-5 mph and then as it was almost at a stop, still with the motor roaring, I slammed it into park and turned the key off. The motor turned off thank goodness. I sat there for about 20 seconds or so, luckily no one was behind me, then...

As I was driving, the truck stopped running and then under the engine compartment it started on fire and fully engulfed the engine compartment in front half of the truck

The engine had a life threatening malfunction. Currently, there are arrangements being made to move the truck to my insurance company's property. I'm sure my insurance company would allow and arrange a site visit to inspect the truck. It happened so fast and without warning, we were blessed that we were able to escape the truck without losing our lives or getting severely burned. Anyone who helped or passed by was put at risk due to the fire or possible explosion that could have accrued from the truck fuel tank or trailer propane bottles. The fire inspector and insurance company have conducted there preliminary inspections and are in the process of writing up their reports. There was no warning lamp, message or symptom of a engine problem or failure prior to the engine bursting into flames, but the only warning that accrued after the engine caught fire, was the engine...

Upon starting the vehicle the engine made a rattling noise.I turned it off and restarted it and the noise continued. Turned it off again and the noise stopped. Brought it the dealer with a video/recording on my wifes phone so they could hear the noise. The truck was there over a week with the service writer saying they could not duplicate it. The truck was there a few more days before the service writer told me they received a service bulletin instructing them to up the pressure on the oil pump. They did that and told me the truck was fixed.I went out yesterday and the noise has returned, again my wife recorded the noise. Bringing it back again to the dealer. We are afraid to use this truck as we dont want to have an engine failure. This has also been to the dealer for brake squealing and the...

No warning that this vehicle is designed to cut itself off after 30 minutes of idle time. This is NOT STANDARD and no owner would ever know or expect this. Ford should have at minimal a warning placard like it does for airbags. We purposely got a 250 truck to use the idle with AC as we setup and cool down our RV. Thankfully we found out about this to avoid serious injury, living in TX climate where temps outside reach 100+ degrees. Someone is going to get seriously hurt or killed since this is NOT expected or a STANDARD feature of ANY vehicle. There needs to be at least a warning but ideally, a permanent override for the owner, or default to normal idle.
