Front brake rotors are warped, time to do a brakes job, make sure calipers float on pins and that you replace rotors, aftermarket are cheaper than G.M. but hold up just as well, change pads and lube the slides in calipers

SOURCE: Brake pedal pulsates when appling brakes

If the new rotors were not allow to seat after replacement they will warp extremely easily. Easy to check. Remove wheel and check for trueness of rotor, a dead give away is if you see a blueish tint on the rotor.

check rotor and brake pads. also check fluid level. one of those 3 causing problems.
more and likely its the rotor. its cheaper to buy new ones for around 20-30 dollars.
warped rotor will cause the pedal to ..pulsate. and more and likely you pads are wore.
when getting new rotor always put new shoes on so the rotor it can wear evenly.

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.

I have a 2003 chevy silverado 1500 4x4 no engine or abs light comes on but when i apply the brakes the brake pedal pulsates and pulls to the right just replaced front brakes didnt make a difference. but if...

pulsates ARE normal for this truck it means abs is working.
if truck pulls to the right then the LEFT brake caliber is not working right check to see if rusted up... also install NEW calb. BOLTS never reuse old one if one is bent calb. wont slide correctly

Brake pedal a.b.s pulsation at slow speeds on dry road.It wont do it all the time. It is on a 2000 chevy silverado 1500 4x4. I can hear the abs kick in when this happens.

You may see the abs light come on in your dash. I would plug a OBD II reader in and retrieve the codes.
I would say you either have a sensor that has gone bad or possibly a wire is shorting.
You can see the wheel sensor if you turn your wheels, and look down by the wheel hub bearing.
You can here the abs go whrrrrrrrr, when you step on the brake, and your braking flucuating.
Please let me know what you find.

Abs skipping

If you can test the car without the ABS module to ensure that the ABS is not the cause of the problem, If you have a spare module you can have it replaced for a while to test if the module is faulty,

2001 Chevy Silverado anti-lock brakes activate on dry pavement, the pedal pulsates, the typical anti-lock brake sound is heard, and the truck feels like it is not going to stop at times

One of the sensors has gone bad and needs to be replaced, the other thing to that would also do that is the ABS sensor is dirty or needs to be re gaped to the speed ring on the hub. There was a issue bulletin with your Tahoe on the ABS activating under 8 km/h. Good luck and hope this helps, if not clean out the sensor with brake parts cleaner and check the wire harness and ABS sensor bracket. Re gap the sensor to the speed ring hub. Here is the bulletin. Anti lock Brake (ABS) Activation at Low Speeds (Clean Wheel Speed Sensor Mounting Surface) #03-05-25-007C - (05/16/2006) 2001-2006 Chevrolet Suburban, Tahoe
