Description of the problem	There are two things that occur with my brakes. One is a consistent and very loud groan with braking after any length of time sitting idle. The other is when the brakes are applied and i may be over a bump in the road or a pot hole or rocks the car lurches forward quickly as if i have lost control of breaking. Almost like hydroplaning without water present. I have taking the car to the deal consistently since the noise began and yet to have a fix for it. They say there is nothing wrong with the brakes. However i specifically had someone sit in my car to hear the groan because they said they were unable to duplicate it. They heard the noise and again could do nothing to make it stop.
