ok first i really appreicate everyones help. second my and i just got back from "just brakes" and they told us he has a "contaminated brake system" and thats its gonna cost 8-9 bills to fix. now my question is? Can a contaminated brake system really cause the brakes to lock up so fast? Plz any inputs will be appreiciated.

Possibly. Just flush the system and check for leaks (ie. why it is "contaminated").
