Description of the problem	I purchased my 2005 f150 with a 5. 4l trinitron engine new in 2005. I completed all regular scheduled maintenance using the recommended products, most of it done in ford dealerships. This 5. 4l engine is a poor design and should be recalled. It has numerous problems. I had a safety inspection done at a ford dealership and it passed even though it had a ticking sound in the engine and i had hesitation and loss of power. At that point, i had already replaced the transmission at 62,000 miles! Now at 105,000 miles the plastic camphasers broke apart, the timing chain broke and the engine is blown!! That is unacceptable for a ford truck to last that long and have that many problems. This engine is a piece of junk! Ford needs to stand behind its' "built ford tough" trucks and make this right. I'll never buy another ford.
