Description of the problem	In mid-sept10 i experienced 2 brake failures on my 2007 kia spectra ex. Each time after driving approx 800 miles to & from northern ca. Brakes failed to engage when exiting off of ca99 to ca4 (angels camp). Was able to steer car to far right shoulder where emergency brake was deployed. Thereby not hitting car in front of me. After 5 minutes was able to continue remainder of trip (40miles). Next morning took car to local kia dealership, they kept the car 2days/insisted that i call a report into kia consumer affairs; which did. According to them car was "operating according to specs".. In otherwords, we take no responsibility... Upon returning back home to az. The same thing happened, except this time my garage door was what stopped my car. Both times the brake pedal was depressed all the way to the floor and nothing happened.... Again i used the emergency brake... But i damaged my gd/my brothers new car that was parked ion the other side and the front of my car... The car was towed to kia were it was kept for 2wks, while corporate decided how to proceed.... After that time my car was returned to me.. Again with (this time verbally only) the expression of "working according to specs" used... I dealt with kia ca.. I thought they were going to take care of the situation.... Overall i was treated like a i had done it deliberately.. I have been driving for 32yrs and never have had as much as a ticket, much less an accident.... When i asked the service manager for a "written" statement about the driveablity of my car, i was told it would come from the consumer affairs division....... After 2 additional calls to them i gave up. T... I subsequently wrote to our state's attorney's office/the local newspaper/aarp/jd powers & assoc.(they give kia safety awards). In researching i found over 1200 complaints on kia brake problems alone. & nothing has been done. I continue to make sure noone i know ever buys a kia! ! The sm at kia had the gall to say- drive careful when i picked up my car!!

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?
