2017 Volkswagen Jetta brakes complaints

Takara recall- my brakes jammed up and would not stop, which resulted in a vehicle collision on november 29, 2018. I tried pressing the brakes, however, they just would not stop. I was driving home on a city street. They had done this after I got them serviced before and I notified the dealership, however, I was told they were fine.
While traveling down the road I realized dead ended, I attempted to apply my brakes at which time they did not work, I looked to ensure nothing was under it and when I seen there was nothing attempted to apply again, unfortunately they did not work again. I ended up crashing into a barrier and totaled the vehiucle and sustain injuries because of the defect.
The brakes make noise upon starting to brake and this has been happening since we owned it . Took it to the dealer which is gerald jones vw august's ga and they didn't look at it but o my tipped off the oil . They said the brake system doesn't come with a courtesy check . Also there were small dents in the car from the beginning that I made the dealer aware of and he blamed me . Even though o did I soft w him several brand new cars on the lot with small dents that looked the same . I think it needs to be repaired and free of charge
I needed to make a left hand turn from a street into a complex, was still moving at approximately 25mph and when I went to apply the brakes, the vehicle was not slowing or stopping. As I continued trying to make the turn, the vehicle did not slow down until I hit the curb and later the wall where I came to a stop.
