Car shakes when braking? Help please.?

The car is a 1999 Ford Taurus, and I recently had a full tune-up...expensive one at that.

But any way, when I brake the steering wheel shakes a lot, I've noticed that it does it the most when the car slowing from around 50-45mph because my route to work takes me on a high speed highway (traffic cruises at around 75mph)

Could it be the brakes? or something more serious in the braking system?

Thanks.

    Sound like your rotors are warped, causing the shaking when you brake. You could have the rotors turned or just replace them with new ones. Rotors are inexpensive for a taurus.

    It sounds like your front brake rotors are warped. It's not a serious problem. Mostly just annoying.

    Have your rotors checked they probably are warped.
