Description of the problem	I purchased my 2004 f150 with 10,000 miles on the engine in december of 2004. I now have 130,000 miles on the engine and im told the engine is junk. I changed the oil religiously every 3000 miles and i even had the spark plugs taken out and the engine completely cleaned internally. I love this truck and am finding it hard to beleive that at 130,000 miles its junk. The cams are not getting oil and its causing the engine to rattle and make loud noises, when i drive the truck on the highway at 65 or 70 miles an hour it runs great but as soon as i slow down on the ramp, the noise and rattle start. The engine check light came on. The mechanic says i need a new engine. The warning was cam retarded. The rest of the truck is in great condition. The interior looks almost new. I kept my truck clean inside and outside. I even kept my floors scrubed and clean. I just had to sell my house because of my health and now my only vehicle went to hell. Is anyone paying attention to these complaints and trying to fix them. I'm told this engine is noted for this problem. Really!!! 130,000 miles on a pickup truck is nothing. Why are these engines that were put in these trucks breaking down and nothing is being done about it? After this experience with buying a new vehicle, i know i'll never purchase a new vehicle again. Especially not a ford. I believe that the ford company is aware of this problem, but isn't concerned with the consumers problem, because nothing is being done to help the consumer fix the problem. I the consumer am shocked that i have to junk my vehicle with the low mileage. I'm told $8000. 00 for a new engine. Wow!!! Not possible for me to even consider. Please please look into this problem and help the consumer with a resolution. I don't want to junk my truck!

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
