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.

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.
