Q: when I break my car goes back and forward
when I slow down my car on a red light while breaking the cars moves back and forward like something is dented some where.
My car has 93000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
It is possible that you have warped brake rotors or loose suspension parts. I would recommend having your vehicle inspected by a qualified professional to determine if any free play in suspension parts or run-out in the brake rotors exists. Consider YourMechanic as this can be done at your home or office.
