Oil came out of engine - oil light not come on - engine stopped in middle of highway with no warning. Just missed an accident - steering locked, engine stopped - coasted to edge of hwy.

While driving home from work and trying to pull into the community development, went to apply brakes, and they depressed about 1 inch. Was not able to stop. Had to take foot off brakes, then slammed on them, and vehicle stopped. Also, steering wheel became very stiff, and engine died for a brief moment, and then functioned normally.
Brakes not depressing, happened on our car and on the loaner we have from Volvo twice in the last week. The engine: A black puff of smoke came out the back, the oil light flashed on and the engine locked before I could pull over to the shoulder. There was not electrical warning and no physical warning (leaking oil etc.).
