Consumer Description

After researching, I found multiple videos on YouTube and hundreds of replies saying that people have had the same problem and don't know why there is not a recall on this problem. 2017 ford 3.5L eco boost engine has plastic valve covers that crack and leak oil(dangerous due to flammability). I found this problem since I was researching a vvt solenoid after scanning and finding code p0022. I have not replaced the solenoid due to this problem. If the valve covers keep cracking, this code will continue to pop and it will be an endless loop of replacing parts. Please help. Pictures don't load. Please reach out if you need any additional information or closer up pictures. I can provide anything you need. Sincerely, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
