Whenever the brakes were in use the calipers failed to open. Vehicle would stop until noise indicated a problem with brakes. Would take to dealership & mechanic replaced brakes. The brake problem happened at least 5 times so far. Last time brakes just gave way & needed to use emergency brakes to stop vehicle. On 5th set of brakes. Also, remote control does not work/ both front windows glass distorted/replaced spark plugs/replaced transmission interlock system/replaced noisy front end/replaced starter, and realigned driver's side door hinge.
