Sounds like you need your rotors replaced, they're warped. Do the pads at the same time and start fresh.

Have your garage scuff up the faces of the rotors with an angle grinder and abrasive pad. Most likely there are deposits of brake pad, very common.

I'd also say brake rotors. Pick some up from ebay or rockauto
