When applying brakes, they would lock up and smoke came from the brakes. This happened during normal braking. Vehicle was taken to the dealership twice. The first time dealer could not find a problem with the brakes. Vehicle was taken to the dealership again on Feb 4, 2000. Master cylinder was changed, along with new pads and rotors.

23% of the time that I have owned the vehicle, I've had problem with the brakes first time the rear brakes were adjusted, replace master brake cylinder, replace pads, scuff rotors and drums, adjust rears. 2 time nothing was told brakes are braking as designed. Next time air bubble was found. Now hcu unit need replacing.
