If you only did the front brakes, the problem may be in the rear brakes.

Could the rotors be that bad after installing new front brake pads on a 2002 Chevy Blazer when you are driving and apply the brakes it pulsates?
Either warped rotors or drums can cause pulsating. Apply the parking brake slowly while going about 15mph and see if t pulsates. If it does, it is the drums that need turning. If not, it is the rotors that need turning.
What does it mean to machine the brake rotors and drum brakes?
The rotors in disc brakes and the drums are what the pads and shoes rub against to stop a car. With use, the surface can get grooves in it or a build up of rust scale; reducing the braking efficiency. To machine the rotors and drums, they are put on a lathe that cuts a new smooth surface on the face of each. Depending on wear, any given rotor or drum can probably be turned 2 or 3 times before needing to be replaced.
What could cause vibration in the tires when applying brakes at high speeds on a Honda Odyssey van It has new pads and rotors and tires have been rotated regularly?
new rotors can have high spots have them turned also if lug nuts are over tight it can do the same thing i always use a torx stick when installing wheels back on the car or truck
Do you turn brake rotors every time you replace pads?
Not if no shake or bounce upon braking, grooves in rotor shorten pad life,if braking is smooth just pads wore out, put a fresh set on don`t look back Not if no shake or bounce upon braking, grooves in rotor shorten pad life,if braking is smooth just pads wore out, put a fresh set on don`t look back Not if no shake or bounce upon braking, grooves in rotor shorten pad life,if braking is smooth just pads wore out, put a fresh set on don`t look back

Why would car vibrate after resurfing all 4 rotors and installing new pads?
I don't know the details but you may have a bent axle.
Why would your car vibrate after installing new brakes?
Were the rotors resurfaced or replaced, or just the pads? Warped rotors are the most common cause of vibration when braking
What causes the front end to vibrate when braking?
Warped rotors is the most likely cause. Have the rotors turned or replaced and new pads installed.
Why does the steering wheel vibrate when braking?
You possibly have warped brake rotors on the front. Or Bad Wheel Bearings.
Why would a 1994 Subaru Legacy with all wheel drive vibrate when braking?
Rotors or drums warped. Have them turned.
How do you know when a Lincoln needs a new rooters?
You can tell if a Lincoln needs a new rotors by the braking fashion of the car. When applying the foot to the brakes, if the pedal tends to vibrate, the rotors could be deteriorating.
Why does your truck vibrate when braking if you just replaced your brake pads and rotors?
I would suspect the lug nuts were not torqued to the correct specs and that has warped the rotors. Over-tightening the lug nuts will warp the rotors. Can also be worn suspension parts.
Brakes pulsate and vibrate when stopping it is worse if you are turning while braking?
For the brakes, check for warped rotors. For the turning, check for worn CV joints.
What would cause your 2001 Dodge Caravan to vibrate at higher speeds when braking if you already changed rotors?
cv axle The rear brake drums may be out of round also.
What are signs that you have bad rotors?
There is a pulsating on braking.
Driving on bad rotors?
There will be a pulsating on braking.
What happens when you drive your car with the rotors low?
If the rotors are worn too thin, they could snap apart while braking, leaving you with no braking power at all.
