Yes. You have a brake pulsation and the rotors need to be replaced.
Here is a guide that will help with this:

Below you will find the process from the manual that will help with replacing the rotors and pads as I would replace them both at the same time.
Please run through this and let us know what other questions you have.
Thanks
