Ok this has probly asked tons of time.
MY car under braking feels like it grabs and lets go.under hard braking its really bad, and under braking at a stop light it happens when i'm alost stoped. Its soo annoying! Also it feel like to brakes are having to be pushed harder to stop. do i need just new pads, or a new rotor and pads??
 
your rotors are very warped. sometimes you will get the grabbing and letting go feeling with warped rotors and other times you will get the steering wheel shake, it all depends on how the rotors warped.

You will need new pads and rotors. While you are there check your wheel bearings and make sure all the lugnuts are tourqed evenly or close to it, those two things can cause warped rotors.
 
CRAP!! not what i wanted to hear, and yeah sometimes it does make my steering wheel shake, also. How much does it cost to get new rotors?? I'm kinda out of work right now, so i don't really have the money. how bad will it be to drive on the rotors as is?
 
You can get rotors and pads pretty cheap at your local auto parts store. My guess for the good stuff from autozone would run ya about $250.00. Are you able to change them yourself? It will be much much more to have a shop fix them for ya.:eek:
