You need to put on a new set of front brake pads and also have the rotors tuned this should fix the vibration

"Turning" the rotors means they shave them down to take out any warping. You can only do this a limited amount, before the rotor is too thin to be safe (or legal). Most likely you need new rotors.
This is a common problem with warped rotors on disc brakes. At some time they got hot and then probably had water splashed on them and became warped. But I would expect this to happen at any speed, if you step hard enough on the pedal.
Might also be your ABS system malfunctioning.
If you live on a hill or for some reason regularly overheat your brakes, expect to replace rotors often.

I am not a mechanic by no means, but I know a little because my husband worked on cars for years, you need to have your brakes, rotors, and drums looked at, they could be worn down, and you might want to have it put into alignment again too. Any time you get a shimmy in the steering wheel you need to pay attention to it. Hope this helps, good luck to you.

I just talked to my husband, and he said your front rotors are probably warped. You have to have them turned. He patted me on the back because I was right, that is what he said.
Your tires could be faulty or just bad. You may have a knot on one of them, and this could lead to a blow out. Thats been my experience.
