When pressing on the brake, you have to press really hard and the brake does not go all the way down.
After pressing on the brake the car almost shuts off automatically the wheels stop moving?? The wheels seem as though they are locked and the car shuts off automatically. When this happens, the car starts to smoke a little near the front towards the driver's side.

Also if the car is ran frequently, the car shuts down and takes about 6-8 hours to cool off and then will restart.

Please help, not sure what is going on? HELP.
