is there a problem with my brakes....?
my steering wheel vibrates quite a bit when i step on the brakes with light to moderate force. The vibration goes away when i continue stepping on the brakes.

yes...
this topic has been covered over and over...
your rotors will have to be resurfaced, but i'd try and get them replaced... since mine were done, i have had ZERO trouble, and this is with the stock pads...

Is everything tightened? Are you running with the stock pads and shims? Aftermarket pads (or stock pads) installed without shims usually move about a bit with light pedal pressure.

What blows my mind is that when I'm payng attention and use the brakes to stop the car, even from moderately high speeds and stopping rather quickly, they are smooth as silk most of the time.... What gives?

Bogie: i recently had the front rotors turned, could the brake guys have forgotten to put the shims back....and thats what is causing the steering wheel vibration at light/moderate brake pedal pressure?

what you guys are feeling is called Glazing. It happens when a slight shine or too much material transfer is occuring on the rotor. The only way to get rid of it is by machining the rotor, another way is to work some good heat into the rotors like at a track (it can't be done in the street) and burn off any glazing.
