| My truck starting having brakes problems (vibration when stopping) at around 25,000 miles. took it in to dealership for inspection with 29,000 miles on it. ended up machining all rotors (not under warrenty). i'm now experencing the same problem at 42,000 miles. i believe the the rotors and calipers are severely undersized considering the weight of the truck. i suggest that ford make good on the next brake job. had a 88 chevy p/u and went 75,000 miles before replacing the front pads. ford has erred on it's engineering. | |||

| Have experienced extensive brake dust on the front wheels almost from day 1. lately, at about 28,000 miles the front end wobbles and shimmies when braking. not so bad at lower speeds but really bad if you have to brake fairly hard while on an interstate highway from speeds of 65 mph or more. had tires rotated and balanced which helped a bit but problem still exists. *tr | |||

| I have a 2007 ford, f150 extended cab, the brake rotor have warped. this could be a safety problem if this a regular occurrence with this model. the shop which i carried my vehicle to told me that if the company used certain brands of rotors that were made in foreign countries won't stand up to heat. if ford used these products on the assembly line because they're cheaper, something should be done. *tr | |||

| 2007 f150 4x4 supercrew: after 12000 miles front brake rotor wear was noted as abnormal by technician. deep groves have continued to form in both front brake rotors. vehicle mileage is currently at 26,000 and groves in both front rotors continue to get deeper. technicians at dealership continue to say, quote, the brake pads are really hard on the rotors but the only thing we can do is turn the rotors, but it will just get worse unless i replace the pads. every 2007 f150 owner i have talked with and looked at their rotors have the same exact problem and the dealerships are unwilling to correct. *tr | |||

| In july 2007, i purchased a new ford f150 pickup truck. in december 2007, 3 times in one day i depressed the brake pedal and the truck accelerated for no apparent reason. i ran a stop sign, but luckily did not hit anything. i immediately returned the truck to the dealership, but the service department could find nothing wrong. i continued to drive the truck with no problems until january 2008, when again 3 times in one day, i depressed the brake pedal and the truck accelerated. again, i ran a stop sign, but did not hit anything. no warning lights came on. one time i put the truck in neutral and watched the tachometer go up to 4000 rpms as the engine revved. i am absolutely certain i did not have my foot accidentally on the accelerator pedal for any of these incidences. i returned the truck to the dealership where the service department could find nothing wrong. they installed a black box recording device and drove the truck for 3 days, but still could find nothing wrong. *tr | |||
