Description of the problem	I bought 2017 f-150 platinum from levittown ford i own it less than 1 year and have now 15,000 miles on it. My problem first started around may of 2018 it was random happening off and on i was getting a grinding noise when i started the truck only when i stared in usually first thing in the morning or if it sat for more than 6 or more hours. The problem got worse as the summer progressed i made my first appointment with stevens ford on 07/10/2018 after being told they had a back log of several weeks and this was the earliest appointment i could get. Well i picked up the car at night and the claim they did not hear the noise yet on the receipt it says due shop over load. So i made a appointment with the dealership i bought it from and the earliest date i could get was 07/25/2018 and they were finally able to diagnose the problem being the timing chain and cams as per attached paper work. I was without my vehicle for almost one month and now after picking it up i still feel a slippage in the engine as i drive it. Now after doing extensive research i have found that the 3. 5 6 cylinder eco boost engine has had this problem dating back to 2004 and have really never fixed the problem. It usually effects the engine after the 60,000 warranty expires and i have rarely seen this occur in a truck as new as mine. I am fighting with ford on all avenues to get my truck bought back by them because i have lost all confidence in this product.

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?
