13 problems related to brake disc rotor have been reported for the 2000 Ford F-250. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Very rough shaking during highway speed braking and truck lunges during low speed stops. Replaced my rotors multiple times and fix lasts only a short time. I travel a lot of highway miles and very little city. No towing or heavy loads involved. This greatly affects my steering while braking ability and greatly lengthens my stoping distance. Very unsafe!!!! same problems with excursion used by my fire department. If problems continues I know it's the last Ford the city will buy.
Brake rotors warp all the time, causing severe vibration while braking. I have had this problem fixed 5 times. First the rotors were turned, then replaced, then turned etc, etc. I'm due to go in again for the 6th fix, with only 5,000 miles on the newest set of rotors. I only have 52,000 on the truck. So far the dealer has stood behind the fixes but this is a safety concern for me as well as a financial concern since they will start to make me pay. I've been a highway patrolman for 18 years. I abuse my cruiser brakes on a daily basis and they last 40,000 miles! my truck is babied and it eats up brakes. . . Unacceptable.
Front disc brake rotors warping. I have had the front rotors turned 4 times and replaced front rotors once in 55,000 miles. I do not tow a trailer or carry heavy loads. Most of mileage is interstate highway driving.
Seveir vibration on brake application . . . . Replaced brake pads and new rotors. . . . Suspension seems fine. . . . New tires. . . . Balanced.
Brake rotors and front wheel assembly failure at approximately 40,000 miles. Severe front end vibration on brake application. Six visits to turn rotors, replace rear rotors at 50,000 miles, finally replace front rotors at 63,000 miles then new brake pads at 73,000. Still no cure. Ford refused initially to do anything about this, so I was taking vehicle to local tire/brake shop. Schawb tire 1201 hilltop dr redding CA. 96003. . . Ph. 530 221-5314. . . . Finally took pickup to dealer, found front hub failure, worn out ball joints, warped rotors. Covered under extended warranty. However. . . . 7,000 miles later, problem is back!. At time of service by corning Ford, I asked service manager, steve lowery, what was to prevent the brakes from failing again in this manner. He said. . . Nothing! sure enough, he was right! this started in 2001, on the way home from alaska. . In the yukon. Took it to shop as soon as I got home. My extended cna service warranty terminates at 100,000 miles. Since I keep my vehicles for 200,000 to 300,000 miles, I'm very concerned as to the potential safety problems that this failure could cause, and the money out of my pocket to keep this vehicle in safe operating condition. I'm submitting this in hard copy also with corresponding bills by way of us mail . Thank you.
Warping of front disc rotors. The rotors warped out the first time at 30000 miles. Since then the rotors warp between 10 - 20000 miles consistently. Again going online I found many people are having the same problem. All with the Ford f250, 350 model year 1999 - 2003. Presently I have had my front rotors either cut or replaced 4 times. Estimated time line that work was required. ; 30000, 44000, 60000 and the chimmy is back at 76000 . This problem causes the truck to shake and chimmy. Greatly extending the distance which the truck can stop.
2000 Ford superduty built at kentucky truck plant exhibits excessive shaking during braking since @ 3,000 miles. Replaced front discs/calipers 5 times by 100,000 miles even though truck is driven very lightly (no towing, mountains etc. Just normal highway and town driving) Ford dealers (three consulted so far) say this is a known problem and that post-2000 my vehicles receive improvements. We have put the best possible materials/parts that we can identify to minimize problem. We believe that replacement parts represent post-2000my improvements. Brakes continue to wear rapidly, warp and cause significant vibration during even very moderate braking. This is not just and accelerated wear issue but a safety issue in terms of braking performance and handling during breaking.
Vehicle shudders violently upon applying brakes. Dealer informs that rotors are warped. This is second repair for this problem in 8000 miles. Dealer/manufacturer insinuates driver error. Experienced driver-no error. Ford denies responsibility for further repairs.
There was vibration in vehicle when brakes were applied. Dealership examined vehicle, and informed consumer that brake rotors were worn and had to be replaced.
Was driving and applied the brakes, pedal started to chatter. Stopping distance was diminished. Took to dealership and was informed that rotors were warped. Was not under warranty for repairs. Electrical crossed wires in alternator system were smoldering. It was repaired. Front end would make clunking noise while turning. Nothing was found.
When braking, the vehicle vibrated violently in the front. Dealer was notified and relaced all 4 rotors, 10,000 miles later problem reoccurred. Please any additional information.
Brake rotors warped at 2000miles. Dealer turned rotors and would not replace.
Vehicle fails to stop properly when brakes are applied. Would shake and vibrate badly. Took vehicle to dealership, mechanic noticed rotors were warped, which caused the braking problem. Had them replaced after 10,000 miles. Engine stalls and oil leaks from the turbo into the inter cooler. Transmission does not shift. Tires began to bulge out, consumer did not specify kind of tires. Electric window motor failed. Seals are out on the front axles and they were just replaced two months ago. Air filter system is inadaquet for this size of engine and has to be replaced every 2 to 3 thousand miles.
