Consumer Description

THE BRAKES ARE NOT RELEASING AFTER NORMAL PRESSURE IS APPLIED TO THEM, WHICH IS CAUSING SMOKE AND BURNING FUMES TO ESCAPE FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR AND FROM BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE TIRES (VERY DANGEROUS). THE BRAKES BECOME LOCKED OR STUCK WITH THE PRESSURE NOT RELEASING FOR A FEW HOURS OR UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. EVEN THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT WILL LOCK AS IF THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN SLAMMED, BUT WERE NOT. ALL OF THIS IS HAPPENING WHILE DRIVING AROUND TOWN.
