Description of the problem	I am the owner of a 2012 jeep grand cherokee that at the time of the following incident had approximately 48000 miles on it. During our first cold weather in january 2014 i took the car out and when i went to apply the brakes i had to step on the pedal with all my strength to avoid hitting another car and then had to steer the car off the road to avoid a accident. I then parked the car on the side of the road and did not drive it the rest of the day. The next day when the temperature was warm again i had no problem with the brakes. A week later during another cold weather the brakes had the exact same problem making the car extremely dangerous to drive and a liability to both me and others on the road. I had the car towed to my local mechanic who said it was a problem with the power brake booster and that the booster had a faulty design that allowed water to get into it causing failure in freezing temperature and is not detectable unless the temperature drops below freezing which is a huge safety hazard. I contacted to jeep to order the part and found out that it is on national back order due to a extremely high volume of parts failures in both jeep grand cherokee and dodge durango trucks. I barely avoided a serious accident in my truck due to a design flaw by jeep that they refuse to correct which will lead to a unsuspecting person being in a serious accident because jeep refuses to correct a known problem.
