WHEN I APPLY MY BRAKES, THE PEDAL GETS HARD AND THE CAR SHAKES AND I AM NOT SURE THAT IT WILL STOP..AFTER A SECOND IF I PUSH HARD ENOUGH THE PEDAL WILL GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND I AM NEVER SURE IT IS GOING TO STOP. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY CANNOT FIX IT. I HATE DRIVING THE CAR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC BECAUSE I AM NEVER SURE THAT I WILL BE ABLE TO STOP. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE INSTEAD OF WAITING FOR A COMPLETE FAILURE FOR THIS PROBLEM TO BE FIXED??
