Description of the problem	While driving the speed limit on the highway i was approaching slow traffic. I tried to apply the brakes but the brakes were hard and failed to work properly. The vehicle did slow down a little bit but not enough to stop the vehicle. I was going 55mph and then traffic slowed to about 20-25mph but couldn't. I had to veer off into the left lane to avoid hitting the car in front of me. It wasn't the anti-lock brakes kicking in either. I the brakes were just failing. The second occurrence was the next day when i was approaching an intersection to make a right hand turn i tried to apply the brakes but again the brakes were hard, as if the pedal fully depressed without applying any brake. Luckily i was cautious from the previous incident and was approaching the intersection at a low rate of speed. I was able to just barely make the turn without colliding with another car. Thankfully there weren't any pedestrians crossing the street, in new york city this is a rarity. After all this happened i checked any recalls with my vehicle and saw the brake booster recall. I called two jeep dealers ( bayside jeep in ny and east hills jeep in ny) and both gave me a hard time saying that there is not a recall out for my vehicle. They are saying my vin # does not have a recall against it but jeep hasn't assigned the recall to any specific vin #s, they say to just bring it in to get checked out. Since this wasn't a mandatory recall to my vin# i wasn't given an appointment for service for 1week at bayside jeep and 2days later at east hills jeep. I was given attitude and didn't even care that this was a major safety issue.

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.
