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!

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!

F-150 XLT 4.6L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 11,000 miles

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.
