Consumer Description
THE FUEL RAIL DEVELOPED A PINPOINT LEAK RESULTING IN GAS BEING SPRAYED OUT OF THE SYSTEM AND INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. LEAK WAS ONLY DETECTED BECAUSE IT WAS SUBSEQUENTLY PULLED INTO THE PASSENGER CABIN CAUSING NAUSEA AND HEADACHES IN MY TODDLERS. HOLE IS NOT VISIBLE TO THE NAKED EYE, AND IS SMALL ENOUGH THAT THE SYSTEM ONLY LEAKS WHEN PRESSURIZED. *TR
