The brake rotors are either warped or scored, or the pads are close to worn out. Warping can be caused by over-tightening the lug nuts or from hard stopping from high speeds which will cause the rotors to overheat and warp.
Scoring can occur as a result of natural wear and age. Pad wear can be accelerated by mechanical faults, but will eventually appear on any vehicle that's in regular use.
Note: Uneven application of braking power at high speeds, caused by the heat that is made between the rotor and the brake pad; this is causing uneven stresses in the rotor. Such heavy brake usage aggravates the situation by providing uneven wearing along the circumference of the braking surface.
