Brake Hoses, Lines/piping, And Fittings problems of the 2007 Jeep Wrangler

For the second time a brake line has broken causing brake failure while driving. I called Jeep and was told there has been no recall and the dealership's service department takes no responsibility. My daughter was driving around a circle at a major highway intersection when the brakes failed. I guess a certain number of people must die before a recall is made. Have had an electrical issue with blinkers since I owned the car. When turning off blinker when changing lanes, the opposite blinker comes on. Trying to turn that side off, then makes the other side come back on. It takes going back and forth for a few times before it will just turn off.

Bought the car used. Had plenty of oil and based on the date and miles from the previous oil change had about 600 miles left before needed an oil change. No light came on no gage informed us that I was low on oil and my engine seized, I replaced the engine $6000. 00 later and now the brake hose started shooting oil all over my rear tires while driving on a state highway and nearly crashed having absolutely no brakes. Please tell me who is responsible for this death trap. If it is me than I am going to all local news stations to make sure everyone knows how dangerous these Jeeps are.

I was driving down the road on the way home I went around the corner and hit my brakes they were there then they faded away causing me to hit a pole.
