Get new pads and your rotors cut.

i just bought this car 12 days ago and its toyota certified if that means anything?

Yeah, bring it back to get it fixed. It should be covered.

Your braking distance is probably longer, so this is a safety issue.

Congrats on the Excellent purchase. These cars sure are a blast. I'm sure you already know.

The rotors are most likely warped causing vibration to be felt through the brake pedal, and steering. When I bought my XRS, they turned my front rotors down instead of replacment and they must not be 100% true. I have a vibration as well.

Yep, in shop class, I learned that most vibrations felt from the break pedal, are more than likely because the rotor is warped. The break pads when applied, jump around on the rotor, therefore causing a vibration. See if the shop may be able to fix it for you.
