We have a Pontiac Sunfire year 2000. My wife has been complaining "on and off" about vehicle braking problem that it slip from time to time with no specific pattern (day or night, rain day or hot condition) . Basically she said that when she apply the brake at the stop sign or red light, sometime it would slip once causing the car to take off then stop. No ABS pump noise and no wheel lock. I have the car brake done a month ago with new rotors and new pad (old one were worn and old rotors rust a bit but still acceptable from vehicle safety inspection point of view), rear brake shoes are like new. This vehicle has ABS and traction control that always on while she is driving. I took the car out for test drive many times and could not duplicate the problem. I believe her braking diagnostic problem because she is usually never wrong about car develop new symptom that is out of the norm. My driving habit and her is not the same as she is gentle with her acceleration and stopping but that should not be a factor. Does anyone has similar braking concern as this and how did you solve it?
