Coolant leaked from underneath the vehicle while driving about 50 MPH which caused the vehicle to overheat.

About 2 months later the brake pedal went to the floor while braking. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who determined that the incorrect brake parts were installed and that the radiator clamps were loose.
