Service Brakes, Hydraulic

MY BRAKES WILL FAIL WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I WILL BE DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY BRAKES WON'T WORK. THE ANTI-SKID LIGHT WILL GO ON ALONG WITH GRINDING NOISES. IT FEELS LIKE I AM PRESSING A STAKE DOWN THROUGH ROCKS AS I PRESS DOWN ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. DURING THIS TIME, I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE BRAKES AND I PANIC THAT THE CAR WILL NOT STOP. AFTER A FEW SECONDS, THE BRAKES WORK ONCE AGAIN. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE AND THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO FIX IT. THE SITUATION KEEPS HAPPENING. THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE WAS IN JANUARY, 2012. I AM VERY SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR. I HAVE BEEN VERY FORTUNATE THAT ANOTHER CAR HASN'T BEEN CLOSE BY WHEN MY BRAKES HAVE FAILED. *KB
