Description of the problem	In august of 2013, i noticed a strong gas smell when standing towards the back end of my g6. The problem was a bad fuel pump. Mileage was ~58,000. A few weeks later, my car began stalling and the charcoal canister had to be replaced. It is now may, 2014 and i've had my car back to the dealership for fuel system related issues five times. They've replaced the fuel pump and charcoal canister a total of three times and they even replaced the gas tank during round three. After the most recent repairs, i get "check gas cap" messages on my radio console every time i fill up, my check engine light comes on and i have acceleration issues. I'm just waiting for it to stall on me again and i pray it doesn't happen again on an on ramp. All repairs are documented through the dealership. In april, both low-beam headlights began working sporadically and within a week, quit working completely. I went to a shop close to the office and paid $50 to have both low-beam bulbs replaced. After about three weeks, the driver's side bulb was out again. I returned to the shop and they took the head lamp out and showed me that the problem was in the wiring harness of the head lamps. The wiring had become so hot, the wire insulation had melted off and the wires are exposed causing a short and blowing the bulbs. I'm now concerned that the electrical issues are more widespread and could be contributing to the continued problems with the fuel system. The dealership has been great to work with, but if the manufacturing dealership can't resolve these issues, i'm not hopeful that my car will ever run correctly again. I feel i have a great looking, unreliable lemon that adds a great deal of stress to my life. I can't afford a new car and i hate that i don't feel like i can go very far from home out of fear of ending up stranded or i won't make it home before the sun goes down.

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?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
