Why does the car shimmy sometimes when I apply the brake?

What is your question?

The steering wheel is difficult to control when it does it. AND...after I had to do a hard brake to avoid an accident, it REALLY was bad!

You likely have warped front brake rotors. This will require replacement of the brake pads, and resurfacing or replacement of the brake rotors.
