If the car vibrates when the brakes are applied, it could be a sign that the brakes or rotors need to be checked or replaced. When a problem like this occurs, it is best to get it checked out as soon as possible to avoid worsening the problem.
Check with a tire store and see if you need an alignment.
Your front end may be out of alignment. Check with a tire store about an alignment on your vehicle.

Yes, the parking brakes can be used to stop the vehicle in emergency. But remember that, in most of the vehicles parking brakes apply only to one pair of wheels, so if the vehicle is in high speed, one has to apply them carefully and save the vehicle from skidding.
The front brakes on any vehicle do most of the stopping. When you apply the brakes the weight shifts to the front of the vehicle. For this reason the front brakes are needed more than the rear. Try stopping a vehicle with just the hand brake which applies only the rear brakes.
If your vehicle has abs brakes, just apply the brakes hard and steer away from danger. If the vehicle does not have abs brakes, try to apply the brakes without locking up the wheels and going into a skid then steer away from danger. If you lock up the brakes and go into a skid you will lose control of your steering.
Parking brakes apply generally on rear wheels to control enough sliding of the vehicle.
What is stab braking?Apply your brakes all the way.Release brakes when wheels lock up.As soon as the wheels start rolling, apply the brakes fully again. (It can take up to one secondfor the wheels to start rolling after you release the brakes. If you re-apply the brakes before thewheels start rolling, the vehicle won't straighten out.)This is directly from the NYS CDL Manual.

If your brakes go out while driving, first shift the vehicle into neutral and then apply the emergency brake. If neither of these slows the vehicle, turn on your safety lights and get into the right lane.
Continue to apply brakes: they're not just power brakes, they also function manually.
The vehicle will pull to the side with the blown tire. If you do not panic and just let off the gas and slowly apply the brakes you will not have an accident. If you jerk the wheel or slam on the brakes you will loose control.
