About 4 months ago I started noticing that my brakes were not working right. When I press the brakes my car would bounce and my steering wheel would shake as well. It was even worse when I would press the brakes to try to stop right away or to try and slow down really quick. It only kept getting worse. So I replaced brake pads thinking it would fix the issue and that didn't work. I had the calipers & rotors and still didn't fix it.

It's so bad now that when I use the brakes I have to start stopping or slowing down I do it from way ahead. I've almost had several rear-ended collisions because of this. I've even had swerve to the shoulder just so I wouldn't rear end the car in front of me because the car doesn't want to stop and cause the bouncing is so hard that it feels like my front tires are just going to come off. It's been a really big issue and very frustrating.
