Only thing I can suggest is going to a brake shop....

Mine will nearly yank the steering wheel out of my hands once the brakes get nice and warm (about 3 or 4 "eager" stops).

I suggest a brake shop as well. May be able to turn them, but maybe have to replace.

Is it intermittent, or all the time. Also try rotating your tires, could be a separated belt. Mine did they same thing until I got new tires. I would exhaust your resources before taking it anywhere. If it ain't broke, they will break it.

When just braking and every time you brake you feel it, It's most likely the rotors. In my opinion they take a long time to stop and they can't be fixed. And if your still not sure you want to spend the money, pull one and set it on a flat area and teeter totter it. Then you will see how they are warped. Just my 2 cents...

I just purchased 2 brake rotors from Advanced Auto Parts for $56 each and plan on doing the rotor swap when I get off of work tonight. I'm thinking the pads will be OK since I only have 80,000 miles on them. Looks like a easy procedure from the post listed below:

You might even have a hub problem that is causing the vibration.
