Model Year	2011
File date	03/10/11

Description of the problem	Sporadic, complete brake failure. Brakes fail to catch, petal depressed to the floor does not initiate any braking. Once brakes are completely released and pushed again brakes finally catch. This issue occurs at different speeds, sometimes right after car is started, other times after it has been running a while. Has occurred 5-7 times in the last year. Vw technicians cannot reproduce, so will not do anything to fix. Lucky there has been enough stopping distance in the previous instances to pus the brakes twice, but this presents a safety hazard to those in the tiguan and surrounding cars.

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.
