While driving the brakes failed to work properly. The consumer can hear a loud clicking when making a left or right turn. Upon applying the brakes the engine locked and spun out of control. Also, the brake pedal is very hard to push down. The tires get very hot. Took to dealer several times and problem is still not resolved.. nlm
