Brake problem amongst others S70 1998

Hello guys,

Ok big problem over the weekiend... I just had Bjorn serviced because there was a squeaking sound from the back of car, my mechanic only found the axle boot needed to replaced, and that was the only thing found wrong with the car..

This past Saturday driving on the highway and at around 60mph steering wheel was shaking really bad and seemed to have trouble accelerating... continuing driving and smelled a burning smell, then saw a little smoke out of the engine, I exited off the highway and went to brake and guess what no brakes (heart beating out of my chest), I pressed the brake to the floor, there was no tension at all, went right to floor, I pumped the brake back up and car stopped after swaying... wanted to get home very close to my house stopped at another light same thing, no brake and had to pump it to stop..... My mechanic is on vacation till next week.. Yesterday opened the hood everything looked in order as far as I can tell and pressed brake while car was not turned on and it seemed fine.... what is this and how is this all related... will not drive the car, afraid will have it towed next week to mechanic.. any views on this.... please..

and thank you Klaus in advance if you answer..
