Description of the problem	On 8-4-16 i was operating my 2012 jeep grand cherokee in a paring lot dropping off some people. After putting the vehicle back into drive and moving forward, i was unable to stop the vehicle. When i stepped on the brake petal, i could hear a sound of "air" which seemed to be escaping from somewhere. Fortunately the parking lot was empty and i coasted to a stop. I had zero brake function! There was absolutely no warning that this issue was about to occur, and no type of "service engine or brake" light went on. My family and i are very fortunate that we were not on the highway at high speeds when this brake system failed for no apparent reason. Note that a year or so ago i had this vehicle serviced at my local jeep dealer for a government recall on the brake system. It is my understanding that it was a hydraulic booster under nhtsa # 14v154000. I had my vehicle towed into a different jeep dealer for this issue. They repaired it under the "booster" recall. My invoice mentions that they tested and replaced the brake booster due to corrosion. I am extremely concerned for the safety of anyone driving a 2012 jeep grand cherokee! The problem was allegedly fixed once, but had to be fixed a second time. This is an extremely dangerous situation that must be corrected immediately on all like vehicles.
