Default Braking vibration

Hi guys, Im new this forum. My question is, my father in laws van violently shakes from doing a semi hard brake at around 110km/h. It literally sounds like the front end is going to fall apart. Here's the weird part, when you let go of the brakes it still shakes and clunks. Not as bad as when you hit the brakes but still pretty bad. If you dont come to a comete stop after that is doesnt go away either. Also a noise which can only be described as very loud road noise continues until you stop. Trying to replicate this is proving to be a pain. The brakes do pulsate very little under normal braking. Dealer says pads and rotors after road test but I'm pretty sure he didnt hear the actual problem, just the slight pulsate. I'm leaning towards a possible stuck caliper under hard braking but trying to prove that to dealer Im sure wont be easy.
Any thoughts? 2015 caravan under 49000kms
Thanks in advance
