That could be for a variety of reasons...

First thing I'd check for is warped rotors. Then I'd take a look at all steering/suspension components for any warn parts.

Is your front sway bar connected?

So things are BREAKing every time you slow down? Man that's weird. Normally I just brake.

But seriously, sounds like warped rotors to me as well.

Mine does the same... everything is still attached and in proper working order. I replaced the caliper on the right side and it solved it for a little while.

I used to have warped rotors, they machined them, maybe time to replace? It's only at like 50-60+mph
