Every time I use my brakes during normal driving conditions, when I press on the brake, the car vibrates badly and the brake pedal will go all of the way to the floor. The car will slow/stop, but often I have to let up on the brake as I am trying to stop and press it again, often 1-2 times, before it will come to a complete stop.

Sounds like you have a brake fluid leak or a real warped brake rotor and/or drum.

Have the brake system inspection, you'll most likely find that you will have to replace either the brake rotors/pads, or drums and shoes.
