Default brakes!!!!!!!!!

hi there! I recently bought a 2003 durango, of what I am proud, but this week hit the brakes hard and the whole suv went off, and the rear brake bulbs died. I send it to a shop and they replaced the bulbs and said that was the problem(yeah right) so I got myD back and a few miles I then hit the brakes on really hard, and guess what it happened again. if anyone has any suggestions please help.

I check the shocks, of they are OEM, get rid of them and go with some good aftermarket shocks. Monrow reflexes are good if you are on a budget, otherwise, go with billsteins.

Also, I seen that bad tires even if the tread looks good can cause the D to swerve to one side when under extreme braking.

Last thing is have someone check your braking system, maybe the master cylinder or calibers, etc..

Check all of the grounds. Sounds like it is electrical IMHO. Can you start it after it dies? Might even be a voltage spike.
