Default STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES/SHAKES WHILE BRAKING DOWN HILL

I have a honda accord 96 LX 4-door, the problem is that when I brake while going down an incline the steering wheel vibrates and shakes. I have had my tires aligned and balanced. I have also had Midas check my brakes and rotors and they say they are fine. They couldn't reproduce the problem because there are no down hill freeways near their shop. However when I go out of town e.g Tahoe, while braking going down an incline this problem occurs.
This particular model/year doesn't have ABS braking.

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like heat warp to me. I have seen it b4. The rotors don't shake untill you get them realy hot. The only fix is GOOD quality rotors. Just my .02
