Check with a tire store and see if you need an alignment.
I would say "NO". I have applied brakes on a "wash-board" gravel road that shook the car very hard. If the baby is strapped into an approved car seat that is mounted to a standar car seat, the vibration should not be a problem.
Hold your steering wheel hard, and don't slam on your brakes. tap them instead, because slamming on your brakes just makes it slide faster, and you will not be able to steer. Just let go of the accelerator, tap on the brakes, and wait until you stop.
Applying brakes too hard or too quickly can cause the wheels to lock up and the vehicle to skid. This can lead to loss of control and potential accidents. It can also cause excessive wear on the brake pads and decrease brake efficiency.
Warped brake rotor(s). Brake pads and calipers should also be inspected.
Your vehicle is equipped with abs and anti lock brakes, when applied hard enough the system interprets it as a panic stop and pulses the brakes to prevent lock up and skidding.
Your front end may be out of alignment. Check with a tire store about an alignment on your vehicle.
sounds like a brake caliper piston is hanging up a little or slide bolts are sticking and need lubed
press down hard on the brake pedal, and continue to steer the vehicle.
If your vehicle has abs brakes, just apply the brakes hard and steer away from danger. If the vehicle does not have abs brakes, try to apply the brakes without locking up the wheels and going into a skid then steer away from danger. If you lock up the brakes and go into a skid you will lose control of your steering.
hard breaking or no back brakes. also, back brakes adjusted wrong.
The brakes may be hot after a long drive, and the water will cause rapid cooling, possibly warping the brake drums or rotors.
