How strange.Do you mean a pulsating in the front brake lever.If so you've got a warped front brake disc.As you apply pressure,the spinning disc is causing the pads>pistons>brake fluid to pulsate causing you to eventurly feel it through the brake lever.Put that beast on a centre stand with the front wheel off the ground ,HK.Look straight down the bike from head to tail,concerntating on the discs.Can ya see it now.????.Check your rear disc while your there and disc bolts for tightness. Best of luck HK.PS.Please leave feedback if i've helped. Tabby..OZ.

2004 Dodge Dakota. I hit the brake pedal and the whole truck vibrated in the front end.

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved to model category.

It could be a few things, none of them good and all dangerous. Have it checked out by a mechanic. A few of the reasons in the link, disc brakes and suspension are the most likely.

OKAY I REPLACED BOTH ROTORS AND BRAKES ON MY 2008 CHEVY IMPALA BECAUSE I HAD A VERY BAD BRAKE PEDAL PULSATION WHEN I TRY TO STOP. IT WENT AWAY PRETTY MUCH ONLY FELT IT.

Can you also you feel the pulsation in the steering wheel or the body of the car? If it is in the steering wheel then recheck the work that you did. Make sure that the hubs are clear of rust and torque the wheel nuts when putting the tires on.
To check if the rear are bad you can while driving down the road, lightly apply the emergency brake. If you feel the pulsation in the body then it is the rear brakes.
One last test that I have done is clamp off one brake caliper at a time using a clamp on the rubber line and seeing where the pulsation is coming from. Also if the antilock system is engauging there will be a pulsation in the pedal.

When breaking, my break pedal begins to pulsate when stopping. Also, the steering wheel begins to shake when breaking.

Usually a sign one of the front brake rotors is out of round. It could also be something wrong with the abs but I doubt it.

Breaks on Saab 2001

Did you replace the front and rear or just the front? Rear brakes can make the pulsation as well. Also if your ABS system is activating that could be described as a "pulsation". The ABS problem is usually caused by a bad wheel speed sensor or ABS module failure. ABS modules can be rebuilt (see ebay BBA-Reman) Wheel speed sensors are available at most auto parts stores. Some Saabs require the replacement of the whole hub assembly.

Brake pedal shakes/pulsates

warped brake rotors. don't resurface just replace them. if the steering wheel shakes its the front, if the seat of your pants shakes its the rear. in most cases the front will warp first

If a spare tire was put on in the right rearside wasnt able to torqe lugs down only hand tightend will that cause my brakes to pulsate

If the wheel nuts cannot be tightened properly, then yes, this could result in pulsating at the rear end. Tighten lug nuts and recheck.
Also this may be caused by an abnormal spare tyre. Many spare tyres are not put into use and can become distorted or hardened over time. There is a date on the sidewall of all tyres, and no tyres are recommended for use by vehicle manufacturers over six years.

I have a pug 406 2l hdi i have had a problem with the breaks

That sounds like a bad brake rotor or drum. If the brake rotor or drum is thick in one spot and normal on the rest that will cause the pedal to pulsate every time the the rotor or drum reaches that part of its rotation. The solution to this problem is to remove the front and rear rotors or drums and take them to a machine shop so they can be smoothed out, bear in mind you may need to replace them if the thick spot is too great.
