Description of the problem	I had brought my grand cherokee in for a recall i received. I was told that i needed a booster and shield for my brakes & they would call me when the parts came in but the car was safe to drive. On 8/13 i called to follow up since i hadn't heard anything from the dealer & was told the parts were on back order and they weren't sure when the parts would be in but again told the car was safe to drive. I explained to them i was hearing air when i pressed on the brake they said that was the booster but it was fine. On 8/15 at 6am on my way to work i was doing 75mph with the flow of traffic. The car infront of me slammed on his brakes i did the same, but my car didn't stop. Thankfully it was early enough that i was able to swerve an not crash or die! I then got to work and had my car towed to the closest dealer, i wasn't given the option of a rental car until that evening and with my work hours i was not able to get a rental until monday. I picked up my car on 8/22 after they were able to track down the booster &shield. On my way home about 20min into the drive my traction light and check engine light came on. I took the car to my local dealer & they told me that when the dealer who fixed the booster and shield didn't do the recall properly & didn't adjust the the brake switch properly. I was driving with my brake lights on & the lights stayed on even when i was outside the car. They told me i was lucky that the car didn't power down on me & shut off. They dealer where i was fixed the brake switch thankfully, but more importantly the booster blew on my car and i almost died!!! I feel someone needs to know about this and hope that putting it on here will make people aware that with this recall the car is not safe to drive. I was lucky, but someone else may not be.

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.
