Brake Disc Pads Problems of Suzuki XL7

I purchased this vehicle in 4/2010 it had 22,000 miles on it. I had new brake pads installed 7/18/2011 at 47,000 miles. It began to have issues again in January 2012, I finally had to have new rotors/brakes installed again 6/2012. I contacted Suzuki regarding the issues of the brake system, they stated that my VIN# was not on a recall for the braking system yet, I still have issues. What re-coarse do I have in getting re-embursed for prior installment of new brakes and getting it corrected again! I now have 72,000 miles on this car I use it for in-home health care, I transport clients, I'm concerned about our safety.

The brakes of the car becomes hard and locks the car from moving. The dash board will show traction light on with the reading "traction control service / stability control service" the first incident happened September 2010. Miles covered 55391 . Matter taken with Suzuki and the dealer. They said the brake pads wore out, so replaced the pads and the rotor for $536. 00. The problem repeated but after 2 hrs brakes got released. The traction control and stability control switch was put off to avoid the danger of the vehicle getting auto braked in the middle of the highway. However the switch did not work and the problem repeated two times. Taken up with another dealer. They have stated that brakes and rotor need to be replaced with certain other kits for a price of $2100. Talking with Suzuki and they stated that the vehicle is not under warranty. Hence, I have to pay for the repair. I fail to understand how can the brake pads lock the moving vehicle automatically. It is the most dangerous situation especially on highways. Someone please help.

Brakes made loud grinding noise, have had brake pads/liners replace 3 times in the last several months. Problem will not resolve. Brake pedal becomes mushy and abs has failed several times. Seat belts lock and stay locked at the slightest braking pressure and/or vehicle speed and do not release for several minutes. This is a serious problem that no one seems to want to address.

Inner front brake pads fell out of the brake calipers causing the caliper piston to directly contact the brake rotor. This wore down the rotor and caliper piston causing both to require replacement. This also caused braking to be greatly reduced.
