My ride is AWD wagon 2.2L(EJ22E)motor with automatic transmission.

When I apply the brake pedal to stop the car every time I note deep vibration, rough idle and shuddering.
When I press and depress brake pedal couple of times and press the brake pedal lightly the vibration subsides a little by 10% but you can still feel the problem.

What could be the problem? I would greatly appreciate you guys help me diagnose / repair this on going problem.
