 High beam headlights inoperative.
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE - STORAGE - TANK ASSEMBLY
07/01/1999205/01/1993
 The pipe that you put gasoline in from the outside that carries the gasoline to the gas tank corroded and rusted at 36,000 miles when the car was only 2 years old. it was replaced under warranty in march 1995. the replacement part is now corroded and rusted. have been to dealership and met with factory rep and they will not fix it since the car is out of warranty. all agree that it should not be occuring but will not do anything about it. recommended that i contact you to see if this is a safety issue and if a recall is instituted, they will then fix the problem. at the time of my meeting with the factory rep, there happened to be another protege (1990) in the service department for another problem and it also has a corroded/rusted fuel line. isn't this a safety problem because of the risk of the corrosion/rust affecting the integrity of the metal and therefore be a fire hazard when gasoline is put into the car? myself and family members have had numerous cars over the years and have never seen this before or had this problem. many mechanics claim that they have never seen this problem and agree that it should not be occuring and it could very well be a safety hazard as well as a hazard to the engine if a piece of the corrosion breaks off and travels into the engine. wonder how many other protege's have this problem and if something should be done about it? feel it should not have happened once, much less a second time. feel the quality of the metal pipe used is not sufficient and therefore could be a safety concern if the ingegrity of the metal becomes involved when enough corrosion/rust develops.
