Megane brakes grabbing

THE brakes on my 2005 Renault Megane grab when applied, often sending the passenger towards the windscreen. Emergency braking is tricky indeed. They also grind loudly when reverse parking. Renault says both issues are normal, but the first problem particularly worries me. Can you help?

Has it been that way since you bought it, or has it developed over time? Test drive another Megane, without telling the dealer what you are up to, and see if that is the same. See if it is as Renault says, normal for the Megane. If it isn't, talk to the dealer and get another opinion. It does sound as if the brakes are coming on too strong.
