Description of the problem	While approaching an intersection in a busy area of san diego county, the brakes failed on my nissan leaf. The brake shuddered under my foot, much like anti-lock brakes do when they're engaged. After i felt the shuddering, the brake pedal went down but the vehicle did not decelerate as it normally would in response to braking. I tried the brake pedal a few times with no response, but the vehicle's momentum slowed enough for me to avoid a collision and continue on the road. As i came to a second intersection, i again tried the brakes and the vehicle did not respond. I used the emergency brake to stop the leaf at the intersection. I located an uphill driveway to a corporate parking location, and drove the vehicle very slowly to a parking spot. I intended to park the car and call a towing service, but when i once again tried the brake pedal the nissan leaf responded to the brakes and stopped in the parking spot. Because i was close to work and the brakes had re-engaged, i drove the vehicle to the parking lot at my office and later that day called nissan's consumer affairs line for the leaf (877-664-2738). I reported the issue to nissan, and they had the vehicle towed to a nearby nissan dealership. At this point in time, nissan is working with mossy nissan in poway, ca to try to diagnose the problem. Nissan opened case #27170321 on the issue. This is a fairly new vehicle (bought in september 2016), and i don't think there are any physical problems with the brake pads or mechanism. My best guess is that an electric/controller failure occurred with regenerative braking.

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.
