Trailblazer 4WD 5-cyl

Brakes squeal on normal braking. Back tires spin on dry road and squeal like someone is "peeling out". brakes seem to ride low to the floor and barely stop the vehicle when having to stop quickly. Besides that, they make the truck keep on rolling even though the brakes are being applied. It's like the computer in the brake system detects nothing when you try to stop, I've had some very near misses as far as accidents are concerned. I just paid this monster off now everything is going wrong.
