“We took our 1998 6 cylinder mustang in for an oil change. It has about 90,000 miles on it. We were told that it is leaking fuel and that it is a safety hazard. We now have to spend $1000 to replace the fuel rail, both valve gaskets, valve cover gaskets and fuel injector o rings. Plus a significant amount on labor. We were told that our car/engine will catch fire, if we do not replace these parts. This is my daughter who is in college's car. How can they have such a horrible design and if we replace the parts is this going to be repeated? …”
