Sounds like you may have lost a brake caliper bolt and now the caliper is lose causing the front end to lock up randomly, in addition to a rattling noise. My guess is based on very limited information, but this should be a fairly easy diagnosis with two people.

I'm sorry bout the lack of info..let me give some more info. I took the front wheels off and inspected the calipers and it doesn't seem to be the problem.
