Description of the problem	(1) i scheduled service at darcars ford lanham md for 9/11/18 for poor driving & extremely poor gas mileage (was filling up about 2x/week instead of 1x/2 week). Car had 53,166 miles, & no warning lights ever came on. Darcars did a tune-up which did nothing to improve the gas mileage. (2) i scheduled service for 9/18/18. Darcars found problem: seized fuel canister that damaged the fuel pump and caused fuel tank to implode. All parts were replaced. (3) after repairs, gas mileage was better but not back to normal. Used to get > 30 ml/gal, & when i filled up, display always said >400 ml to empty. Now i get 27-28 ml/gal, and after fill-up display says ~330 ml to empty. (4) i received nhtsa recall 18v-735 in 12/18. It indicated there was no fix yet. (5) scheduled an oil change for 1/30/19 and asked darcars for status of recall. Darcars said there was a fix: parts replacement & reprogramming. Darcars determined that parts previously replaced were ok, so only reprogramming was done. (6) real problems began 3/1/19. Car suddenly drove extremely poorly while on highway. It would hesitate, & when i gave it a little more gas, it lurched & drove erratically. It then stalled out completely. I tried to restart car a few times & after a few minutes it started. Car had ~3/4 tank of gas and no warning lights ever came on. I scheduled service on 3/5/19. Darcars added or replaced a transmission module. (7) no change in gas mileage, & latest serious problem happened 3/21/19. While on highway, car stalled out completely with no warning. Gas tank was near full, & no warning lights ever came on. Tried to restart car several times but it wouldn't start. Called for a tow. Tried to restart car couple more times while on phone with aaa but no luck. ~10 minutes or so later, while waiting for tow truck, tried to start car again & it started.

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.
