Approximately every 6,000 miles, my brakes start vibrating when coming to a stop. I believe the disc is warping but to date, nothing concrete has been done to fix the problem. So far, the rotors have been turned twice and the disk replaced twice. The problem is reoccuring and I will be taking the car in again. This is a safety hazard as the car doesn't stop properly and the vibrating steering wheel may cause a loss of control. I see several other complaints of the same nature and most seem to be from Alaska. Is the cold weather somehow responsible" it takes time, effort, and a lot of emotional grief to argue with the dealership each time I take the car in and tell them that the brakes haven't been right since driving the car of the lot. When is Ford going to permanently fix the problem? changing the disk is apparently not a permanent fix. There is a major problem with the system itself. What do we have to do to get satisfaction, start a class action law suit? have an accident caused by faulty breaks with injury or death and publicise a large settlement law suit" all I want is breaks I can trust. As it is, I get into the vehicle and wait for the vibrtation to start!

All the brake rotors had worn excessively and caused a vibration at only 5000 miles of operation. The manufacturer would not resolve the problem. Mr scc

The brake rotors wore out which caused a heavy vibration and extended stopping distance.

Had rotors turned at 32000 miles. In november2 00O, when applying brakes, vehicle vibrated all way to steering wheel. On Feb 19, 2001 took vehicle to dealer, who said he could not find a remedy. Rotors were warped.

Brakes vibrate at various speeds and braking pressures. Problem started at 12,000 miles. Acts like a rotor problem.

Rotors warped & had to be turned prior to 1 year.

- Spring Hil, KS, USA

Front brake rotors warped, and were replaced within a 8,000 to 10,000 mile period, cause unknown.

- Florence, MS, USA

The rotors warp at 12000 to 14000 mile increments. The dealer will only turn the rotors and not replace them till the minimum tolerance is reached. I understand that there are new heavier rotors, but Ford refuses to replace rotors inpick-ups sold prior to Mar 99., this is a engineered safety defect and I want some type of permanent fix. Thank you.

We've been previous new Ford trk owners - and have never entailed such a problem like this. We feel that there is more than adquate reason that Ford should give priority attention to this matter. At general highway speeds, then when beginning to apply brakes, all occupants can easily feel very hard erratic trembling begin on the front end. When having our dealer check into this, he assured us that the front end was okay, but that excessive heat is causing the front brake rotors to distort, and thereby needs lathing/cutting - to correct, and rid the problem of the trembling when applying brakes. This is the third time that we have had to resort to having the rotors lathed. Our two prior Ford F-250hd trucks that we've owned, never displayed these problems in any form.

Reference voq #854737 where my supplied information was incorrectly recorded. While driving and when braking, the vehicle pulls left (into oncoming traffic) the severity of the pull to the left is directly related to the measure of the braking and vehicle speed (e.g. low speed with light braking = moderate pull to the left and higher speeds with firm braking = extreme pull to the left). The Ford dealer has turned all the rotors, replaced a brake line, replaced the pads, realigned the vehicle at least three times, replaced the camber bushings twice, once with Ford factory parts and the last time with after market parts (non-Ford adjustable camber bushings).

Severe steering vibration on braking. Reported to dealer 4 times. First time, turned rotors. Second time, replaced rotors. Third time, deglazed rotors. Fourth time, no action. Told it was the ABS system and would meet with Ford factory rep. Still waiting.
