Sunfire 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 30,000 miles
Rear brakes keep coming out of adjustment. When I stop or hit the breaks just right they don't catch and I tend to keep going forward then stop. Almost got in a couple of accidents, but I got luckly. Tried changing the hardware, still have the same problem. Brakes squeal and grind. It's not safe. Tired of figuring out what do about them. It's been on going for almost 3 years.
