Description of the problem	On june 24, 2016, between 1:30 pm and 2 pm, i was driving from brentwood ca to vallejo ca on hwy 780 w and after turning a curve on the freeway which sloped down towards curtola parkway, i applied the brakes at about 30 miles per hour after i emerged from the overpass which was at least 5 car lengths before the cars ahead of me which was stopped at a red traffic light. However, the jeep continued to roll even though i pressed on the brakes to the floor board. When i realized the jeep did not stop, after checking for vehicles on the left from the rear view mirror, i swerved to the left to avoid hitting the truck in front of me, but i still hit the left corner of the nissan truck in front of me but the truck did not hit the vehicle in front of him. I damaged the right corner of the front of my jeep. The jeep is unsafe because the brakes failed and would have caused a fatal accident to me, my three passengers, and other vehicles had i been travelling at a high speed. I complied with all available recall repairs including the brake recall in 2014 and all the suggested chrysler maintenance on the jeep. I reported the accident to my insurance geico and to chrysler.
