    I have a 2006 vue I have replaced both front calipers twice each and the brakes are over heating. I was told that it as the ABS control module however no warning lights are on. There is intermittent pausing in the peddle and come times it dose not want to stop. There also seems to be a brake fluid leak

    any ideas

    Brake fluid leak.

    If fluid is leaking out air is getting in.
    If fluid is getting out, you are losing brake system pressure and it will be much more difficult to stop.
    If fluid is leaking out, there is no return suction force to retract the brake pads away from the rotor so they will sit against the rotor and everything will overheat, likely warping your rotors and burning your pads up.

    Depends where the leak or leaks are located as to which wheels will be affected. The rubber hose portions near the calipers are prone to disintegration so look there first.
