I own a 2006 Ford f150 truck with 44,000 miles on it. Over the past month or so it has developed a severe braking issue which when under moderate to heavy braking causes the vehicle to shudder severely and make it difficult to stop. It occurs evertime you apply the brakes. I have spoken to other f150 owners who have had the same issue on the same vehicle and the 2007 model also. The brake pads are in good condition, however the break rotors have a very unusual scratch patterns running from the center of the brake rotor surface to the outside of the surface. I have never seen this on a vehicle before. I do know that one fellow had to replace all 4 of his brake rotors on a 2007 model to correct the problem, not normal if you ask me. I have seen this same complaint on other consumer web sites for the same issue. My vehicle is still in this same condition, I am trying to get information on what is causing the failure before I spend $$$$ to fix it. Thanks for your concern!.
The brakes started jumping when I started slowing down and so I replaced the brakes . . And now even with new brake pads they go down to the floor.
