02 LX w/ 117k purchased 5 months ago.
I just put on new tires and had it alligned about a month ago. Did a little off roading recently. Nothing too serious.
Twice, recently when the roads were wet, I had to hit the brakes and the anti-locks felt like they kicked in (although I didn't think they necessarily needed to).
The other day my wife was driving and was braking at a red light and there was nothing there as she went screaming through the intersection.
Afterwards, she drove it at about 10 MPH for a few blocks and the brakes barely worked. The emergency brake didn't work at all. She mentioned a clunking noise as well. We had it towed then. Brake fluid was fine.
Any thoughts?

Thanks for the help.
Got it back the other day.
Nothing visually appeared wrong until he took it apart and found the rotor had cracked.
I got new rotors, pads and the bearings repacked and it was all for under $500.
A lot less than I was worried I would have to spend.
