Your vehicle caught fire in the wheel well area while parked at a scene, causing major damage to the engine compartment. The fire started without warning and produced smoke and visible flames. The exact cause needs to be diagnosed, but this indicates a serious electrical, fuel system, or brake component failure.

Your tires are rubbing against the inner fender liners and wearing through them, creating large holes that expose wiring and other components to the wheel well. This issue has been reported on multiple 2024 Ford Explorers. The fix would likely involve repositioning or replacing the fender liners, and possibly adjusting wheel alignment or suspension components.

Your 2024 Explorer's 360 camera system is not fully functional—the front camera doesn't work even though it's supposed to be included in your trim package, and you keep getting a warning to "Check forward camera lens for cleanliness" even though the lens is clean. Additionally, your reverse automatic braking system isn't working either. The dealer says Ford hasn't provided information about this issue, suggesting it may be related to a recall affecting earlier model years. Getting both camera and reverse braking systems diagnosed and repaired by a Ford dealer will likely be necessary.
