Are rusty brake rotors bad?
NO. The rotors will rust overnight if the conditions are right. The rust will be removed the first time the brakes are applied. Yes if the rust has pitted them. Just have them turned on a brake lathe.

What makes car tremble when braking?
This is not much information, but I'll give it a try. If the front brake rotors have too much run-out, "wider in some spots than others" then the rotors need refaced or replaced. If the problem is in the rear brakes, the brake drums are out-of-round and need resurfaced. If you feel the tremble in the brake pedal when you brake, then the problem is certainly in the brake system. ------------ He is correct...the rotors are probably warped. Replace the rotors if they are warped that bad. You can get them turned but they are going to be thinner than new rotors and whatever caused them to warp last time will happen faster. (heavy braking and riding your foot on the brake can cause the rotors to warp)
