97 Chevy Cav Convertible
 

1st - I have a 1997 Chevy Cavaliar Convertible. In the morning when I first start driving and make a stop my car JERKS and bounces, it sounds like something is in the back and also it will not stop immediately, it will skip, I have to push the brakes really hard for it to stop.

2nd - When I drive on the rough part of the road the car shakes a bit and acts as though it's trying to pull away from me, I have to grab the steering wheel sternly to keep it under control and straight.

3rd - Can anyone recommend a Great Mechanic that works on my type of vehicle in the Santa Monica/West side of Los Angeles area.

Thank you guys.
