The brakes come on abruptly while driving along. The brakes lights actually come on!! Calipers, rotors and brakes shoes have been replaced and within one week same problem. This time it happened five or six times within ten minutes. Check engine light also came on and rpms were up. Turned car off for ten or fifteen minutes and restarted - everthing was fine so i drove home. I am scared to drive over 50 kms. What could be wrong
