has the car been sitting for awhile? you may just need to brake hard a few times to get some rust off the rotors. if your brake pedal is still pulsating while breaking, then you'll need to have your rotors resurfaced (or buy new ones if they are not within min. spec).

Bingo!
It's your rotors, get them resurfaced or get new ones

There is resurfacing rotors without disasembling (rotors will stay on car during resurfacing). How is this? It's about $20-30 for 2 rotors.
Who invented captive rotors?!?!?!? 02.gif

Yeah, there's a brake lathe that does it while the rotors are on the car, well you can do it with the front ones (so the car's in gear) the rear ones, not sure how you can do it while on the car....

Dmitry-
Did you ever fix the problem? I'm running into the exact same problem. Any braking over 60mph gives me a lot of vibration in the steering wheel and pedal. I just had my tires/wheels rebalanced and it only helped a little bit. Low speed braking seems fine.
It sucks coming down a mountain at 80mph and having to brake to 40mph to go around a curve when your brakes are vibrating and only giving me 60% efficiency. My problem seems to also get worse when my rotors get really hot.

yes, I resurfaced rotors and changed pads. (my rotors were new only 10-20 K miles, I think I overheated them and then hit water)
Problem gone.
Thanx for captive setup I had to resurface it on the car.
When I had this problem on low speeds if I were holding brake pedal slightly I could feel like it's breaking a bit harder-softer-harder-softer (very slightly), at high speeds 80+ mph steering wheel started to shake so bad and front of the car shaked as well.
