Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	I was in stop-and-go traffic. I had accelerated to about 25 mph when i needed to slow down, i stepped on the brake and at about the same time hit a bump in the road. The car not only was not braking (i was stepping on the brake at the time) but indeed seemed to accelerate briefly before the brakes re-engaged (i had my foot on the brake--depressing it--the entire time). This has happened from time to time with my vehicle--it has happened when backing out of my garage, and also when breaking while driving over road bumps or potholes. This is a safety hazard that needs to be addressed.

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.

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