replace your front rotors. checked your brake pads first though.
have you hit a curb? may also need front end alignment if so.
Most likely the rotors are so worn that the car vibrates when brakes are applied.
This is probably due to worn brake rotors on the brakes, if there is no vibration when driving then this will be the cause.
Steering wheel vibration when applying brakes is usually caused by warped disc brake rotors
Does it actually engage the brakes, or just the brake lights? There should be no possible way for the steering wheel to actuate the braking system, but a short in the wiring somewhere in the steering column could be causing both rear signal lights or brake lights to come on.
Vibration when applying brakes is most likely warped rotors. Another cause could be loose caliper bolts. The vibration while driving is most likely a tire issue ie (out of balance, broken belt in tire, bent rim). Other possible causes are loose/worn suspension and/or steering parts.
This depends on a few things: If your vibration is happening at high speeds, get your wheel balance/roundness checked if this is happening at all speeds, check your alignment/steering if this is happening when slowing down, chances are that you need new brakes

The power steering pump also provides power for the power brakes.
If you suspect something, get them checked. If you get vibration while applying the brakes, get them checked. If you get grinding noise from the brakes, get them checked.

Stomp your brakes and keep strong pressure on them while at the same time steering around the obstruction if possible. You will hear lots of noise and feel vibration in the brake pedal. All of this is normal so do not release the brake pedal.
If you have vibration when you use the brakes, the most likely cause will be warped or excessively worn rotors, usually on the front wheels. Unless you are familiar with working on brakes, it is best to take the car to a qualified mechanic for service or repair.
No, what you're describing sounds more like a warped rotor. Sometimes a rotor will warp as it gets older. It's caused by heat.
