Description of the problem	Approaching a stop sign or light, when i apply the brakes smoothly, the brakes will grab and the car will jerk to a stop, usually when the car is going less than 20 mph. This is much worse is cold weather. After about 10 minutes of driving, it no longer occurs. We just bought the car in august 2014, so this is the first winter we've had the car, so i don't know if the prior owners tried to have it fixed or not.

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.
