When applying the brakes pedal stiffens and the vehicle takes longer to slow down. There is also a vibration that occurs during brake application. Dealer replaced pads, and problem still exists. Has been to dealer 6 or 7 times.

Brakes were grinding and squeaking. To stop the vehicle the pedal had to be pushed all the way to the floor. Contacted the dealer and they denied the service. Found the vehicle was under another VIN #. repair work still cannot be done because the warranty has expired.
