Description of the problem	While driving the car to work i noticed that the brakes suddenly went soft. The car would slow down when i hit the pedal but in order to stop the car i had to nearly press the brake pedal to the floor. Later in the same drive the brakes functioned normally. I didn't notice another problem with the brakes for at least a week until my daughter drove the car and nearly hit someone because the brakes did not stop as she expected. I noticed that if i pumped the brake pedal the pressure would return for a while but then it would go soft again once i drove it and the pedal is pressed. At the point the pressure would not return consistently and it was questionable if the car would stop i took it to the dealership. The service department informed me that the abs module has failed and that it would be a matter of time before my brakes would totally fail. There was no indication of the abs module failing. No abs light; no brake light; no check engine light. For this to affect the safety system of the car i would expect there to be some type of indication of failure. The dealer informed me that the module is $2200 for replacement! The car is only 5 years old why would the abs module fail in such a relatively new vehicle?

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.
