Noise in the back of my 2004 Dodge Stratus?

About three months ago I had my brake pads replaced. I was told that I'd probably hear some squeeling later and would need additional service. Now my front is shaking when I put on the brakes and the steering wheel also shakes. Today, I noticed a noise in the back of the vehicle. Any brake experts out there? What am I looking at in terms of cost? I do intend to have the work done, but would like your honest knowledgeable opinion. Only those with real experience should respond. I do thank you in advance.

    as an auto parts guy i get this alot. seems you got warped rotors. its very common. replace the rotors the next time you replace the pads. also to relieve the squeeling find a ceramic style brake pad as they are much quieter and cleaner. overal cost of complete rotors and pads for front and rear would prolly cost you about 150 bucks.

    ok as far as the steering wheel shaking problem is concerned... u need to get wheel balancing and allignment done... tht shud solve it... somwtimes its also cauze uv bad stock rims... which is very rare... alignment nd balancing shud solve it... in de rear u need to get the brake-shoes checked... dey are wht cause squealing nd also cause malfunction uv hand brake or e-brake... so its best if u get it chekked on tyme!!!
