It's either the brake pads or rotors. If you are a hard braker stopping at the last minute, or have frequent stops from highway speeds, your rotors can heat up to very high temps. When you park your car with smokin hot rotors they can warp as they cool because the spot where the pads sit will cool at a different rate than the rest of the rotor. This can be even worse if you drive through a puddle before you park the car. Have your pads changed, and your rotors either replaced or fixed.

Why does car shake when applying brakes?
If the steering wheel shakes, but to car doesn't, when applying brakes - your front rotors are warped (if you have disc brakes)...if you have drum brakes, the drum could be cracked or the pads worn unevenly If the whole car shakes, and the steering wheel only seems to react to that, when applying brakes - see above statement, but apply to the rear end. If the whole car shakes, including the steering wheel - all four corners are bad, and you're an accident looking for a place to happen soon. In any case, go to your nearest service center ASAP.

simple hydrolics. You have a canistor (master cylinder) which holds the fluid. When you push on the pedal, The cylinder opens and pushes fluid to the brakes which push against a disc to slow the momentum
I have a 04 Mercedes C230 Kompressor Sport Sedan When I step on my brake my car shakes especially when I'm in sport mode And also the brakes sometimes squeaks too when I step on them?
If the car shakes when you press on the brakes, you probably have warpped brake rotors, and the squeak is probably some worn out front brake pads. I would have your rotors checked and either replaced (which Mercedes highly recommends or re-surfaced)
