Description of the problem	First of all, i have only had my car for one year. During this year my car is on its third time loosing its brakes. All times it has happened out of nowhere, and while i was driving and applying brakes to either stop or turn on a road. All three times i almost crashed. I know what i am about to say next, i shouldn't have done but i don't have a spare car and needed to continue to drive it until i could afford to get it fixed. I would drive extremely slowly with my caution lights on and break way before i needed to stop. After driving it several weeks, it would slowly fix itself back to working. This past weekend i took my daughters to the mountains to see the autumn leaves changing. Anyway, i can't imagine my daughters or myself surviving coming down the mountain and the breaks going out. Two days after being home, they go out on my while driving. I am so thankful and lucky that over the past year that no one has died from the brake failures, my family or someone from another family. All three times that my brakes went out it was while in motion. Highway, city and once turning. When it happened yesterday for the third time, i was applying brakes while pulling up to a stop sign and my brakes felt fine at first while i was applying pressure but then it was almost like it broke some sort of seal (or i had supper powers) and push straight to the floor. Very scary! I could feel something like rubber or parts kind of rubbing against each other, but no grinding of the actual brake pads. To sum all of the up, i am 50 years old and have only purchased cars that range around $5,000. I thought i deserved a nicer and safer car for once in my life. This car is the most dangerous car i have every bought and i would rather have a car without all the extras to have one that would get me to a location safely without putting my life or the life of someone else in danger.

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?
