Description of the problem	As i was backing out of my driveway today my brakes failed, and when i say failed i mean i had no brakes at all. I cannot tell you how frightening this was. I managed to stop the car by shifting it back into park. I was able to do this because i was not going very fast. Since 2/12 (time of purchase) until 8/14 i have received 3 recalls (cylinder misfire, brake booster and sun visor wiring) on this brand new vehicle! I received the brake booster recall in the summer of 2014. It took a few months to get an appointment to have it fixed because of lack of parts in stock. I finally got an appointment on 10/8/14 at kelly jeep, lynnfield, ma (place of purchase) to have both the brake booster and the sun visor wiring repaired. The cylinder misfire was repaired before this time and before i actually received the recall because of problems i was having with the engine. After the brakes failing me today, i am grateful that i was not on the street/highway, that none of my children were driving the car or i was not driving someone else's child in a carpool. This does not change the fact that if the brakes failed just a couple of minutes later i could have been killed or even worse, have killed someone else, for the failure of the brake booster that was supposedly fixed on 10/8/14.
