Recently everytime I have my foot on the brake the car starts shaking and bouncing and it feels like it is going to jerk forward. Can anyone help me with this?I have no idea what this is. Thanks

We finally figured out what was making the car shake. It was a vacumm leak from one of the hoses. It is finally fixed and running good. Thanks for all your help.I hope this also helps someone with the same problem.
