My brakes were hard to press sometimes, then they locked up on me and when I would accelerate I would only go like 10 miles per hour if I let go of the gas I would slame on brakes smoke came from the two front tires, then the next day it didnt do it again and it is still sitting at the reapir shop because they cant figure it out . it could be a 4 cylnder but I think it is 6 we are staioned in Bamerg germany and The mechanics on post have it I am taking it off post on Tuesday but if you have any suggestions of what it may be I would like to hear it.
