When the brake is applied it works up until you are just getting ready to stop, at that point the car slides and then the brakes grab very hard. It takes extra distance to get the car to a complete stop. I've had the front brakes replaced & the back brakes adjusted. Neither helped. Since this isn't a consistant problem it's never done it for the dealer therefore, they can't detect the problem. I filed a complaint with Pontiac. They told me there wasn't anything that could be done until the dealer diagnosis the problem. The car is very unsafe to drive.
