BRAKES LOCKED UP ON MY WIFE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC (2 POLICE OFFICERS WITNESSED THE LOCK-UP SINCE SHE WAS BLOCKING TRAFFIC). THE OFFICERS CALLED A WRECKER, BUT SHE TURNED THE KEY ON AND OFF A FEW TIMES AND THE BRAKES RELEASED. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DEALER, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I SEARCHED OTHER COMPLAINTS ON NHTSA'S WEBSITE AND FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS OF BRAKE LOCK-UP ON THIS MODEL. I ALSO HAVE INVESTIGATED AN ASE WEBSITE THAT INDICATES SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I WORRY ABOUT MY WIFE AND 10 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER'S SAFETY IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE DESIGN THAT MAKES IT PRONE TO LOCK-UP THE BRAKES. I WOULD JUST ASK THAT IT BE LOOKED INTO BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT.*AK
