Description of the problem	I've only had the car for 2 months, and the brakes have failed repeatedly, once about every 5 days on average. Every time they have failed, it was when i start up the car, and put it in either forward or reverse. I usually pull forward into a parking spot, so i go in reverse much more frequently after starting up, but it has happened when going forward too. This is the failure mode. I start the car, while holding down the brake pedal, and then i put it in reverse. At that point the car starts rolling backwards, even though i'm still holding down the brake pedal. The brake pedal gets soft and when i floor the brake pedal, the car finally slows down and stops. Another way to stop it is to put it back in park, but that causes it to jerk to a halt. Needless to say, this is a scary scenario, and this frequently happens at my kids' school, where there are many kids and parents walking through the parking lot. In addition, the car also has some other problems. It sometimes starts a long uninterrupted beep when i turn off the car to get out. The beep goes on for minutes, and sometimes i see a warning light on the dashboard. Finally, the card completely stopped working today. An error message of "t/m system malfunction" appeared on the dashboard, and i was not even able to put the car into neutral for the tow truck. The driver window did not work anymore. After attaching a battery charger to the 12v battery, i was able to put it into neutral, but not able to put it in reverse or drive, or even back in park. The car had more than half of its battery cells full, so the problem was not because it ran out of charge.

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.
