Description of the problem	At 7am on a 5 degree above zero morning, my vw pulled out of my parking space fine, i drove one block, fine, at the second block's stop sign, my brakes did not respond. For the remainder of my commute to and from work i had to drive very slowly, brake very hard for the car to come to a stop. The mechanic diagnosed the problem as an issue with the power brake booster. Research indicates that although never part of a recall, that this situation has occurred before, and has potential to be dangerous. For example, my knee is very sore from pressing on the brakes, and if i had been going at a higher speed when i first discovered the issue - i would have inherently slid into the car(s) ahead of me, possibly creating a bad situation. The mechanic also told me the parts are on back order due to an unexpected demand. This is a situation that should be addressed by vw of america, for safety issues on a relatively new vehicle (less than 55,000 miles / 4. 3 yrs old).

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.
