Brakes skip/studder when I'm breaking hard...
Ok, so lately if I'm boning out and need to stop quick and I step on the pedal kinda hard I can feel the pads "skip" on the rotor. I actually don't really know how to describe it, but any of you guys have this problem?

Are your tires worn to less than 3/32"? Your "groove" might be about to loose traction and the anti-lock system is kicking in to minimize braking distance.

ABS and also Brake Assist both feel weird when they activate. Just letting the computer do the job it feels you are not able to handle on your own, haha...

is it the brakes or front end? Like when you hit the brakes, does the front end shudder? Feel it through the brake pedal? If so, your front rotors may be warped. Have them checked out.
If your brake pedal is pulsating, then its ABS.
