I need help

[Shawna]

thank you sorry PBS is acting as my voice b/c I can only get on here when I am on the 3rd floor...

this is the 2nd time this has happened both times it has been raining (not sure if it had anything to do with it) basically I go to stop and the car begins to slow down and then the brakes just give out and I start sliding. Ive noticed in the past couple of weeks that normal stopping takes a little longer that it used to. I am not one to ride my brakes or slam on my brakes if I am stopping I will gradually come to a stop. Both times I have either slid under the bumper or barley missed the car infront of me thank god...


like I said I know how to change my brakes and all but past that I will admit I am clueless

So the tires are locking up? You sure it's the brakes and not the tires? Is there an ABS light on?

no abs light. The tires aren't locking up at all I still have traction. My tires are brand new as well. I think the only reason why I am sliding is b/c the rd is wet.
