Description of the problem	I was driving on the highway @ 70mpr when all of a sudden without warning the car starts acting sluggish for a min then back to normal, and randomly for the next hour or so does(i had a ways to go) this a few more times. I got to my destination and let her rest for the night. The next morning it was doing fine except now the emission control light came on and stayed on. By this time it was time for the 100,000 mile maintenance to be done and it did great until about 6 months later i was driving @ 35mpr when it started loosing power, tho i only lost a little bit of power steering was forced to come to a stop, which just happen to be a one way bridge, baby in the car and had to push myself the rest of the way across it. Once off the bridge i turned the car off (it stayed on til i did this) let it rest a minute and it started up fine and let me go a few blocks still sluggish and then lost power again. I repeated this process for about 5 miles or so when i was forced to park it cuz i didn't want to risk crossing the highway again. Had it towed to dealership where they did the flange recall, that didnt' fix the problem so had to replace both fuel pumps and that was roughly @ 103,000. 8 months later it happens again this time around 107,000. Dealership took 4 hours to diagnose only to tell me i need the fuel tank replaced because somehow all the wires, connectors, and caps that have to do with the fuel lines/tank/pumps are either missing, cracked, or damaged so i need a wiring harness as well. They are quoting a me $5000 fix!!!

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.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
