Braking Issue and 5 garages are CLUELESS
 
2007 Pontiac Grand Prix GT Supercharge

I engage brakes, midway prior to completely stopping the car darts to the left. You can almost feel a tug of war so to speak prior to completely stopping.

Brake lines, brake hoses, brakes, rotors, bearings, strut / shock assemblies, tie rods have been replaced and maintained. The vehicle has been well maintained.

I am hoping to come across someone that has had the same issue. The guessing game and replacing parts to see if the issue is corrected is very old at this point. I love my Pontiac and knowing they are no longer being manufactured I really hate to give mine up.

Desperately seeking information.

Not sure if your system have a proportioning valve on the brake system, but could that be it?

Good thought, however it turned out to be a loose Bolt on the tie rod. Which had been loose and getting looser for just over a year. How to find a good garage should be the question I guess. The dealer gave me a quote if over 600.00 to fix it... Hahaha... Once the Bolt was tightened, steering wheel was again straight, and now the body no longer pulls left and right when breaking. The fifth garage I took it too found the loose bolt immediately. And the dealer didn't get me 😊
