Vehicle surges forward at a fairly high speed when brakes are applied. Had brake pads and rotors replaced 3 times; but problem still occurs.

4 Brake Disc problem

A loud sound coming from front left and right wheels whenever you increase speed, I have had to replace all four of my tires twice, and still having the problem of the tires going flat. The brakes pulsate whenever coming to a stop and they constantly squeal. I have went to the mechanics for all of this listed complaints and no one was able to fix the problem. My brakes pulsating was said to be attributed to the kind of brakes that Chrysler puts on there vehicles a semi metallic type. My front wheels feel as though they are about to fly off. I am afraid to drive this vehicle.
