I have had the brakes repaired at least 10-12 times and the problem still is not fixed. The brake pedal becomes hard and doesnt depress, making stopping slow. The front wheels of the car become black, covered with the dust from the brake pads.. and at times the brakes stick and resistance is felt from the vehicle and the front tires begin to give off smoke.
Several replacements of brake pads and rotors due to warping/vibration/shuddering, also glazed brake lining replaced due to squeaking noise when applying brakes.
While backing vehicle up, heard a loud pop sound w/foot on brakes; also occurs when going forward; took to dealer & informed was front calipers & vehicle not drivable. Waiting for parts. Old calipers & brake pads replaced which caused brakes to lock up.

Trying to make a sudden stop going 10mph, brakes didn't take, brake pedal went to the floor, hit the vehicle in front. Rotors and brakes pads were replaced afterwards, at times there's a loud noise and when the brakes are applied the noise stops and vice versa.
