Both front brakes locked up, mechanic said need replace calipers and he has never seen both go out at same time. Also the abs light won't go off. The vehicle started shaking out of control, after stopped and checked the rotors were extremely hot, they turned blue from the heat.

While my daughter was driving on the highway, the brakes failed. The mechanic showed me the brake lines toward the rear suspension rusted through. Also the support for the rearend rusted through making the vehicle dangerous to drive. The brake lines from front to back were changed and i am looking to have the support brackets changed.

Vehicle has been well taken care of and is in excellent shape. Only 52,000 miles when the abs light, traction control, and downhill assist light came on at the same time. Won't go off as many other owners have attested to in forums all over the internet. Came on when the vehicle was moving on the highway and then went off. Came back on the next day several times and now is stuck on.
