Brake Disc Pads problems of the 2004 Honda Pilot

I have severe brake shuttering and the steering wheel shakes when I apply the brakes. It starts out as a minor shudder and shake at first, and then over time gets progressively worse, until it is quite vigorous. A little background: the car is a Honda certified car- 2004 Pilot I bought 2 years ago. As a condition of the sale, the dealer (sam swope in louisville, ky) said they would fix a shimmy in the steering wheel, and a grinding of the brakes. They said it was a minor problem. The brakes were repaired 2 weeks before I bought the car. I brought the car back 4 days later and the rotors were resurfaced. Everything was fine for a couple of weeks, and then the problem started coming back- slowly at first and then got progressively worse. 3 months later they resurfaced the rotors. The same problem progressed again, and 3 months later, they replaced the rear brake pads and resurfaced the rotors again. I put up with a shimmy in the wheel as the problem occurred again . Finally, after about 8 months, my wife couldn't take the shimmy any more and made me take it in again. I was reluctant because each time I took it in nothing happened, and I'd already spent over $700 to no avail. Once again the rotors were resurfaced, the front pads were replaced and the emergency brake drum was turned. Two months later I brought the car in for the same problem, and was told the rotors need to be resurfaced again. I called Honda customer service on 4/21/09, talked to tina and she said I would likely be denied any help by walter menigvar the exec. Review manager because Honda corporate considers the brakes to be a repair item. I believe there is an inherent problem with this vehicle and possibly it's design, as I have driven numerous cars over 29 years- many of those miles in the mountains of wva, and have never encountered a problem of this sort. I have also heard about other Honda Pilots with this problem. I also think it is unsafe.
