While driving down a city street travlling 25mph noticed a smell of burning brakes. Pulled over, noticed smoke coming out of the front right brake housing. Took a hose to it to cool it down. Wheel was in danger of exploding or starting a fire. Contacted dealer still under warranty. This is a brand new design "diamond life brake system". One of the mechanic told him that there is a design flaw on the hydraulic brake system, causing these failure. The left rear caught on fire. This time going 50mph on the hwy. No warning. No nothing. Didn't even allow the brakes.
