When I stop or slow down while driving my car shakes. I notice it most in the driver side mirror and steering wheel. Any ideas of what it could be?

It sounds like your idle may be too low. If you have a tachometer, is it reading lower than normal? I small vacuum leak can cause rough idle problems also. Might want to check all of your vacuum hoses to make sure they are all conected and not leaking.

I have had my Cavalier for over 5 years and have never had a problem with it until recently. I was driving down the highway going about 45mph and went to step on my brake to turn and my whole car started shaking. Now anytime I step on the brake, my entire car shakes no matter what speed I am going. I have replaced the brakes and brake pads but nothing seems to work. It still shakes just as bad as before. Do you know what could be causing this?

I think your rotors may be warped, they may just need to be resurfaced. Or replaced if they are too bad.
When I slam on the brakes the car feels like it is driving over big rocks.
Without knowing any other details or observations, a best guess is a brake rotor is warped. That's very common and is repaired by machining it or replacing it.

I have a 2 door 1995 Cavalier. I had changed lines and got brake service done about 5 months ago. Whenever, temperatures go below 30's, there is a shuddering type of behavior when I put my foot on peddel. And often the brakes don't slow down the car quick enough. This behaviour does not happen when temepratures are typically above 30 degrees.
My question: Ehy brakes are not working adequately below 30 degrees?
What kind of brake service did you had done. Shudder while braking could a be a warped rotors, might also want to rebleed the brake system.

About 5 or 6 months back, brake liners were changed for the front wheels and new rotors were installed in the back wheels.
Wouldn't warped rotors make shuddering noise irrespective of temperatures?
What needs to be done is to mike the rotors to check its out of roundness and parallelism.

When I put my brakes on it feels like they are locking on then letting go. The whole car shakes and it makes a banging noise.

Is ABS warning light on in dash? Check brake fluid, seems like may have fluid leak on one of the wheels.
