Description of the problem	Driving down a state road and my brakes became spongy. In order to stop i would have to slow down and push my brakes pedal to the floor. The first time it happened i pulled over and shut my car off too call someone. As soon as i started my vehicle again the brakes were fine. Today i decided to pull over again and turn the car off. When i turned it back on i pumped the brakes a few times and it was back to normal. This has happened to me three times so far. I have a newborn and cannot risk brake problems. I checked and my vehicle does not have a recall, however, dodge journeys between 2012 and 2015 have recalls. Mine is a 2013 but no recall. Is this the same issue? And if so, why do i not have a recall on mine?.

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.

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