Brake Disc Pads Problems of Chevrolet Camaro

While driving on the highway at 60 -70 mph in light to medium rain and it was around 35 degress, my brakes failed to work. I pressed on the brake pedal and there was no resistance. The pedal went to the floor and no brakes were applied until 3 sec. It felt like it was building pressure and after 3sec it applied the brakes forcebly becuse the petal was on the floor. It was very scary and I almost got into several accidents. The problem kept occuring during the entire 3 hr drive. Everytime I wanted to use the brakes I had none unti after 3sec. The car has 25000 miles and still the factory tires. Around 4months ago I had the rotors and pads changed out by the dealer. After I reached my destination my check engine light came on. Not sure if its related or aother new issue. Car has been at the dealer for 3days now.

There are instances of severe jerking to either left or right when applying the brakes. This is an intermittent problem that is unpredictable and unexpected. It is most noted at slower speeds, probably because it is less expected. Despite the single date and mileage listed in this report, it has happened throughout the life of the vehicle. The dealer has replaced brake pads once without curing the problem. This is an accident waiting to happen.
