I HAD several problems with this truck. AutoBeef says list each one separate so here is the first problem. The brakes started vibrating when stopping. I cant remember the exact mileage but it was very low. The dealer agreed to fix them under warranty!

I had noticed a vibration in the front end when applying the brakes, that seemed to be getting worst every day. I contacted the Dealership about the problem and set up an appointment. I had the same problem with a different make of truck a few years prior and knew that I would have to get the truck into the Dealer prior to 12,000 miles, because any brake problem is going to be a "ware item". The Dealer advised that the front rotor assembly on both sides would have to be replaced, there was a TSB on the problem from Ford. I had to wait about a week for the parts to come in. The rotor assemblies were replaced at no cost.

Had the front brakes replaced again. Dealer fixed them again under warranty. They also said the rotors warped from being hot and the getting wet. I live in Florida, it rains a LOT in the summer. Guess I cant drive this truck in the rain!
