Max, first turn your Caps Key off... all capital letters looks like shouting, and you might not get many responses.
Pull the wheels off, check the brakes, you may have something loose... brake pads/ calipers.

do you get an abs light when this happens? if your car has a vacuum brake boost it might be going bad or have a lose connection

Biggest thing is what Wolf was saying - take off the wheels and check everything carefully - make sure all the required bolts are there and are torqued correctly, and make sure the pads are seated correctly. Also, when you reassemble, be absolutely sure you use a torque wrench to set your lug torque to 90 ft-lbs, and torque in the "skip-one" star pattern.
