Default brake help

Well its snowing here in CT. I have been noticing some problems with my brakes and now with the snow its even worse. when I slam on my brakes they seem to pulsate like crazy. I dont know if my rotors my be the prob due to them being worped for some sort. that is why i come to this site for some info. this also happens when i am on the highway and going over 60 and hit the brakes to slow down the car shakes like crazy also. but the brake pedal only pulsates like crazy if i really slam on the brakes hard it is really werid and hard to explain. please someone help me i am affraif one day that my brakes are going to fail.

Hmm, well you shouldn't really be "slamming" on the brakes in the snow anyway, but yes, it sounds like your rotars may be warped. Do you see any hotspots on them at all? If you do, it would cost you about $6 per rotor to get them resurfaced if you can get them off the car and down to an auto parts store.

i only slammed on my brakes cause a freaking asshole of a driver cut me off so I reacted you know. so your advice to me is the rotors. I have been meaning to get some power slot rotors for the front and new brake pads too. thanks for the insights
