For a while now, when im at 15-23mph the WHOLE car vibrates horribly. It is faint when accelerating, if i am slowing down without brakes it is worse, and if i apply the brakes even worse. The noise can only be described as GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB. The entire car shakes violently. Noise comes from both back and front, more front i'd say though.
I know the simple solution, don't drive at 20mph  But really, any ideas? I know for a fact that my front rotors are warped, but I can't believe that warped rotors is all thats going on here. Help?

The rotors can indeed be the cause of it, or wheel balancing, did you hit a curb?? lend your car out?? check your tires, they might have uneven humps already...

Naw i didnt hit any curb and no one drives it but me really. My wheels do need balancing as well, but its more than just that shake of an unbalanced wheel.
I gotta get the rotors machined soon and i'll see if that helps, but I just feel like it may be more than that, cause i've had warped rotors before but never experienced this. The tires look OK, i had read that if the tire had uneven wear or cupping or something it could do this kinda vibration, but i see no uneven wear, so idk.

Probably the rotors. I used to have a chevy malibu that went through rotors left and right. It would shake like that too when I needed new rotors. Could be something else. Check your brake pads as well. Maybe you should stop running over kids in the school zone.

Just my guess you might have a warp on a tire or your tire is feathered.
