WHEN BRAKING FROM HIGH SPEEDS THE CAR SHAKES AND DOES NOT WANT TO STOP. I PUT BOTH OF MY FEET ON THE PEDAL AS HARD AS I CAN. THIS HAPPENS UNEXPECTEDLY AND NOT ALL OF THE TIME. WHEN JUST DRIVING AROUND TOWN BREAKING IS FINE. NO SHAKE IN THE PEDALS. I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULDN'T FIND A CODE. I ALSO TOOK TO THE MECHANIC ( AFC CERTIFIED). THEY SAID MY PADS ARE AT 60% AND THE ROTORS WERE IN GOOD CONDITION.
