Brake Disc Pads Problems of Ford F-150 - part 2

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.

The contact owns a 2005 Ford f150. When the contact depressed the brake pedal, the front end of the vehicle vibrated. He replaced the rotors, brake pads, and front discs at least twice, but the failure still persists. The dealer and manufacturer stated that there were no recalls on the vehicle regarding the brakes. The failure mileage was 29,300 and current mileage was 30,150.

Severe vibration while braking from above 40m/hr. Dealer had to replace both front rotors and machined both rear rotors for warping. Rotor wore off before the original braek pads. Dealer says its typical but I suspect poor quality as I am a careful driver.

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.

I'm driving my truck when all of a sudden it will start vibrating horribly, like driving over a washboard type of road. The only way to get it to stop is to pull over to the side of the highway, put it in park, wait, and then try to resume driving. But this does not always work. You sometimes have to stop and change to park, or reverse, a couple of times, before driving again so that the vibration goes away. I have complained about this before, and I see hundreds of complaints for the same issue on "Ford owner websites", and everybody is pissed. Nobody can get an answer from Ford service as to what is wrong. Many people have replaced many different things (I. E. Transmission, clutch pads, bearings, u-joints, emergency brake cable or pads), all to no avail. They have wasted their time and money, and Ford refuses to live up to this awful and very dangerous problem. Apparently, Ford knows this is a big problem with 2004 F-150 trucks, especially, but will not acknowledge it. Someone wrote on the web that Ford knows they had a retooling problem with these trucks, and let the trucks go out for sale anyway. I am now having this problem more often, and I am afraid to drive it. I do not have any money to fix my truck, since our economy is so bad and have been unemployed for years. Make Ford take ownership of this recall problem!.

Brake pads and rotors wear out every 40,000 miles. Dealer says it is due to soft metal Ford used. They recommend replacing. Is this a recall item? if not, why not?.

At 9000 miles the brake rotors warped and were replaced under warranty, but the pads were not. The rotors began warping again and were machined to remove the warping at 34000 miles but again the pads were not replaced. At 37000 the rotors warped again and now at 39000 the vehicle is unsafe to drive. Ford claims this is normal wear and tear and will not authorize repairs because the vehicle is out of warranty. Ford says the consumer must pay the cost to replace the rotors and pads.

2005 Ford f150 developed extreme front wheel brake pad dust. The dust had completely coated the front wheels. The consumer had been made aware of other same make/model(s) that have experienced the same problem.

Contact states: rear end shook while going about 25-30 mph. When driving across small pot holes the vehicle made noise. Brakes squealed at about 18,000 miles. When applying pressure to the brakes there was a lot of powder from the brakes on the front of the vehicle. Dealer checked brake pads and they were more than half worn out at about 18, 000 miles. Also , there was vibration in the steering while applying pressure to the brakes. While driving vehicle pulled to the right.

The contact owns a 2004 Ford F-150. While driving approximately 70 mph on normal road conditions, the vehicle vibrated excessively when the brake pedal was depressed. The failure occurred without warning. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for inspection and they replaced both front rotors under the warranty. On three separate occasions, the vehicle was taken back to an authorized dealer for the identical failures. The front brake pads and rotors were replaced at the contact's expense. The manufacturer has been notified of the malfunctions. The failure mileage was 30 and current mileage was 32,000.

I have a Ford F-150 extended cab with approximately 3000 miles. The brakes have been squeaking for several weeks now. I took it to my dealer and was told that Ford installs brakes that don't meet up right with the roters which causes the squeaking. I was informed that there was nothing my dealer could do and that I should buy a different brand of brake pads to put on the vehicle. I was told these new pads would run approx $50. 00. I called Ford and was informed they wouldn't do anything to rectify the problem either. I don't think it's right that my vehicle that has 3000 miles and that I've owned for less than a year has squeaking brakes and no one wants to fix the problem.

Rear rotors have deep grooves being cut into them, the front are not as bad but more ripples in them. I took it to my Ford dealer and they told me it was due to having used tire shine on the tires. I explain to them that this was the first time I used it and it was the nite before I brought the truck in for service. The truck is a 2004 f150 supercrew 4x4 fx4. It has 4256. Miles on it. I have noticed 11 other f150 supercrews with the same 2 line grooves cut into the rear rotors. One of those trucks only had 600 miles on it. All where the 2004 f150 supercrew 4x4 ( lariat and fx4).

The contact stated the brakes were defective. The first time had to have the front rotors changed due to an accumulation of rust. The second time had to the rotors and pads replaced on the rear because of rust. This last time the dealership urged the contact he had to have the front rotors and pads changed due to rust on the rotors.

I have a 2004 f150 super crew four wheel drive with 39,367 miles on it. I had to replace the front pads at 30,000 and now the deler tells me the rear are gone also, at under 40,000 miles. I drive almost exclusively on the highway, no in town driving, the truck is empty, and I do not own a trailer. Dealer says "tough luck". Ford rep was even less courteous when he denied my request to meet him to discuss the horribly unacceptable brake life. I have several other Fords, a 2001 expedition that got almost twice the brake life, and my wife drives it in town every day. Dealer has blamed Ford. Ford says "brake wear is normal". Maybe it is time my lifelong commitment to Ford comes under serious review!.

Several weeks after purchasing my 2004 Ford F-150, I noticed that the front wheels were beginning to discolor from a build-up of brake dust. Less than a month into owning the car, I complained to the dealership and was told that this problem was the result of a Ford decision to replace the originally designed brake pads with quiter ones because of previous customer complaints about noisy brakes. They told me there was no alternative but to live with the problem, even though I was having to clean my wheels every three weeks due to the constant build-up of the brake dust. They told me that they have no low-dust version for the F-150's even if I were to pay for it myself. They provided no help or support, even suggesting that we consumers were at fault for this new brake dust problem because of complaints about the previous pads' noise, as if to suggest that we deserve or should have expected at least one of these problems. My position is that when I buy a $40,000 new car, I expect that enough r&d was done to deliver a quiet and low dust brake pad. If this problem isn't remedied by the manufacturer, I guess my only recourse is never to buy Ford cars again. It's been around 6 months since my purchase and my truck has about 7000 miles on it; yet I still have to wash the front wheels off at least every three weeks due to the discoloration from the build-up.

Anti locking brakes: when it is raining or wet conditions the first time I use my brakes, the rear brakes will lock up and the rear end will start to bounce. Truck will not stop, will slide instead. The following date is approximate. I took the truck to ennis Ford, place of purchase, I thought I needed new brakes. I was told my brakes pads were good. The problem was a defect in the anti-locking brakes system and that Ford would not stand behind it. I asked for a description of the problem and was told Ford would not allow then to tell me what was wrong. Ennis Ford gave me an estimate of $500 - 600 to fix the problem.

No warning of brake pads getting low. I took my truck to a mechanic because the front brakes were making a noise. He reported that my brake pads had worn completely away and had damaged the rotors to the point that they had to be replaced. The mechanic said that normally brake pads contained a squeaker device to let you know when the pads are getting low. My Ford factory installed brake pads did not have this.

While traveling approximately 20 to 25 mph attempted to stop vehicle, but brakes failed. Truck crashed into another vehicle, causing 2 passengers to be taken by ambulance - no other information as to what injuries they received. Dealership had previously examined vehicle several times for complaints about brake system. Dealership had replaced brake pads/ rotors, and brake fluids. Please provide any additional information / attachments / photographs.

This pickup truck does not brake properly. The brake pedal must be depressed very hard and even then, the braking time and distance is very poor. This problem is even worse and more dangerous when hauling a boat or other trailor. On numerous occasions I have almost hit someone and have ran through stop signs because of the poor braking. I don't believe that the anti-lock brakes work at all. I recently had my brake pads replaced and the dealer told me that he has seen similar problems, however, when the rotors are replaced the braking is much better. The specs. On the original rotors are different than the replacements. I believe that the original rotors are not the correct thickness and therefore the braking is very poor. I have to believe that Ford f150s with these braking problems are getting into accidents, some resulting in injury and death. Something needs to be done now. I don't trust that Ford would volunteer this information and have a voluntary recall. Please advise.
