The brake calipers stuck on the front and rear of the car catching the front wheels on fire. This all caused the car to stop suddenly on a major highway. I was able to get off the roadway safely. It turns out the brake hose lines collapsed inside causing the calipers to lock up. I had to replace the entire brake system.

I slowed down to turn off of a busy street onto a side street. As I went to speed up to about 15-20 mph the car slammed on the brakes itself, my foot was on the gas. I put my foot on the brake for 20 seconds and then put my foot on the gas to try to drive again. The car again slammed on the brakes. I put my foot on the brake, put car in park and turned off the car. I turned it back on and was able to drive to a safe spot. I am terrified to drive it again. What if I had still been on the main road?
