Vitara 4WD

The right front brake springs snapped while driving, causing brakes to lock while car was in motion, thank god it was not at highway speed! two different dealers with no parts took two months undrivable for repair. Next failure was a major oil leak, dealer says can't tell where its coming from as oil is everywhere, caused metal shavings in oil and reportedly needs new engine. No warning lights activated though dealer stated that there was less than a quart of oil left in engine.
