Consumer Reports indicates that the RAV4 has very good to excellent brakes since 2002. If you are having problems, you may want to check if any of the drivers are riding the brake pedal. Of course, if it is fairly new, you may be covered by a warranty. Do not confuse a shuddering motion with a problem during very hard braking. that's the ABS working as it should. The trick is to drive in a manner that you never need to use the ABS; that is, not to tailgate or drive too fast into curves.
