Description of the problem	While driving on a warm day at about 25 miles an hour about two miles from my home, my brakes became unresponsive as i approached a stop sign behind another driver. The other driver didn't stop in order to avoid being hit. I tried multiple times to use the brake, and the car didn't slow. Before coming to a turn down a very long steep hill, i pulled up the parking brake to stop the car. I called aaa. The aaa technician confirmed the brakes had failed, and towed the car to a mechanic. The mechanic was not able to look at the car the same day, but looked the next day and said they could find nothing wrong with the brakes. They recommended taking it to an actual nissan repair shop, which i did. They said they could find nothing wrong, but did see that the braking system had been repaired previously. I called nissanusa and they said our vin showed that the car had already been repaired for an intermittent service brake problem (on recall) a couple of years ago before we bought it used, and that it can't be fixed again for that. It's scary that nobody can identify what went wrong this time, and nobody is willing to see if it's the recall fix acting up somehow, maybe unprepared.

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.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
