Since new brakes work inconsistently. Taken to 2 dealers and independent garage several times. The only answer they found was to adjust rear shoes. However this does not fix problem. Sometimes you step on the brakes and the car just won't slow down. Usually right before you run into something the brakes seem to grab. Whenever I have a friend drive my car they comment on how scary the brakes are. This car has a lot of basic flaws I can live with but I would like brakes. Thank you.
