When I apply the brakes I feel a grinding sensatiion and I hear a hissing sound coming from uderneath the car,and the car keeps moving a few seconds after the brakes have been applied.Is this just brake trouble,or could it also be transmission problems?
Thank you.

Inspecting the brakes sounds like a good place to start.

The wear indicator is rubbing against the rotor that's the noise you're hearing-you need new brake pads upfront/both.
