again, we are guessing since you dont provide model year.

I might guess that your rotors are shot?

if the brake pedal oscillates / vibrates when you hit the brakes, chances are the rotors are warped.

I have a 2000 DTS andhave the same problem. I have changed pads, rotors and wheel bearings. Dealer says all ball joints are good. Rims are OEM. When I break harder vibration goes away. Just cant get rid of it so I live with it now.

Could it becalipers? Unlikely?

every pulsating brakes pedal I have ever seen is tracked to a out damaged, defective, worn, glazed, or warped drum or rotor. not the calipers.

if the brakes were overheated and you got BLUE metal on the brake surfaces, I consider that as time for new ones.
