While driving the truck, depressed brake pedal to slow down. Brake pedal went completely to the floor causing the truck to run into the curb. The pedal became firmer again but later the pedal went to the floor again.

Deep grooves in front brake rotors after only 2800 miles. Ford replaced left calip turned rotors ; didn't replace pads. After 5800 mi rotors again had deep grooves in rotors. Ford has had truck for 5 days; unable to get rotors is the excuse. I don't know what is happening. I hope they replace both rotors, pad and the right calip. Rotor S may need to be the ventilated type.

Vibration felt in feet seat and is noticable in items within the cab of the vehicle. Vehicle has had tires replaced, driveline balanced. Ford dealership says the vehcile has an "inherent vibration" and there is nothing they can do. I wonder if this a safety concern"? why does it vibrate and will something brake" I believe the "inherent vibration" is a defect.

The brake system performs poorly. The brake pedal has a soft feel to it unless I pump the pedal 2 or 3 times. It acts like there is air in the system. The dealer states this feel is normal and took no action. Also, the brakes have on 2 occasions barely worked, I have needed to use both feet full force to get the truck to stop. I took the truck to the dealer today and they state they can find nothing wrong. I have no confidence in the brake system of this vehicle.

Whenever the contact is traveling 35 mph and making a right or left turn with the truck loaded while towing a load of 7500 lbs the left front disc brake will suddenly lock causing the vehicle to pull to that direction. The vehicle has been taken to the dealership where the contact was informed that the failure could not be reproduced. There were no prior warnings and the current and failure mileages were 1700.
