Replaced front brake pads, still vibrated. Took it to Ford dealership, mechanic had rotors turned twice, Still vibrated. Just got tired and let it vibrate. Changed rotors after one year, still vibrated, took it to Meineke and only had rotors on it for 50 miles and they claimed that my rotors had warped and my pads needed to be changed. So i took the rotors off and bought new brake pads. I came to realize that when i took the rotors to be turned that they were not warped, Meineke just wanted to make a buck. When i compared the new brake pads from the old ones, the old ones had very little wear on them. Changed all that still vibrated. The shop where i took the rotors to get turned, suggested that the rear breaks could be causing, they told me how to check it. Make sure it is safe when you do this. Slightly engage your emergency brakes, if it vibrates or causes weird noises then it might be your rear brakes. I will be changing and turning the rear rotors brakes pads this week. i will add to this gripe and let everyone know what happens. THE WORST THING THAT I HATE ABOUT ALL THIS, IS THAT I'VE ASKED EXPERTS FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND FROM VARIOUS BRAKE COMPANIES CLAIMING THAT THEY KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT BRAKES. IF THE REAR BRAKES COULD BE CAUSING THE VIBRATIONS, AND THEM TELLING ME "NO THAT COULD NOT BE THE PROBLEM." And a little garage shop giving me advice after all that i have done are better that experts. please get more than opinion on your car maintenance.
