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 master cylinder/ brake pads and fuel tank sensor and the exhaust system failed. Please send work order.

Next time air bubble was found. Now hcu unit need replacing.
