Brakes will lock up, will not release even traveling at high speeds, causing mass vibration on car. Unable to stop properly. Have replaced brake caliper system professionally 3 times, works for approx 1 month then system fails again. Unsafe to drive at speeds over 50 miles per hour.

Brakes lock up, will not release even at high speeds, causing mass vibration or unable to stop properly. Have replaced brake calipers, professionally 3 times. Worked approximately 1 month and situation started again. 1st indication was blakes were rock hard when compressed. As speed increased, vibration increased. Mechanic advised also bolt came loose frm drivetrain, causing boucey effect prior to brake problems.
