Description of the problem	On jan 12,2011 i was coming down my driveway. I tried to apply brakes and it felt like they weren't working. The driveway was ice covered so i just thought it was the icy roads. The car would not slow down or stop. The car was sliding towards the edge of the hill, i turned the steering wheel to try to avoid going over the hill and the tail of the car went over and then we rolled. It rolled probably twice and came to rest on its top. This was the second time that i had felt that the brakes were not working properly. After the wreck i saw there was a recall on this car and then i thought, maybe it wasn't my imagination after all.
