Description of the problem	I currently lease a 2012 jeep grand cherokee laredo and the other day my wife and son were driving the car and the brakes completely failed. They would not depress even at 5-10 mph and if completely slammed to the floor the abs would pump bake fighting the brake pressure. They went through a red right and luckily were not hurt. Later the brakes begin working and we dropped it off at the service center. Once there they test drove it and almost crashed as the brakes would not work. They said it needs a new brake booster, but the part is on back order and there are actually 3 other cars at that service station which needs the same part. I have read a couple posts on various websites with people having the same issue. I was wondering if others have experienced the same issue? (on another note no one has been able to help us with either a loaner car or paying for a rental as the car has 38k miles so technically out of warranty.. So that's been fun). Thanks.
