: the contact stated the brakes pulsated when the brake pedal was depressed while traveling 40 mph. The vehicle was taken to the service dealer for service and the brake rotors were found to be rotted. The manufacturer was notified.

At just under 25,000 miles, my rotors were warped on my 2004 f350 diesel dually (4x4 8'bed crew cab). I do haul trailers under 8000 lbs occasionally but there has been no undo stress on this truck to warrant such a condition so early. Even though my brakes were "in the green" at my last oil change at 20,000 miles, after my complaint they said my brakes were now in the red - along with my warped rotors. This definitely seems like a defect.

While applying the brakes pedal went to the floor. A loud noise came from the passenger's side wheel. Consume drove vehicle to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic determined that the brake pads and the rotors needed replaced due to corrosion.

Brake rotors on F-350 super crew warped. Vehicle was brought in on 11/07/01, mileage 10256, dealer turned rotors. Took back on 07/10/02, mileage 13026, same occurrence of problem. Returned to dealer 06/14/04, mileage 23690. Very hard time stopping, strong vibration and chatter from brakes. I was told that rotors were warped by another service station. I am trying to find out if their our other complaints with rotors on my truck.

While depressing the brake pedal it was hard for the consumer to turn the steering wheel. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.

While applying the brake at various speeds, the vehicle vibrated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and they replaced both front rotors, however the problem resurfaced. Please provide any further information and complete this questionnaire.

The braking system on the vehicle began to perform poorly. When taken to the garage, they stated that the rotors appeared to be made out of a defective steel. That what was happening to the braking system should never have happened if the steel wasn't defective.

Both factory front brake rotors were found to have a large crack in them, extending from the center to the outer edge. Dealer replaced both. Now rotors last for approx. 15,000 miles before they become so warped that the truck shudders terribly when brakes are applied. Rotors have since had to be turned twice. Calipers do not seem to be dragging.

Consumer states that brake rotors are wearing out, and when applying the brakes , vehicle will have heavy vibration and extended stopping distance. Dealer notified.

Read bottom to get safety concern: called Ford this morning, and verbally informed them of the problem with the rotors on my f350, and they said that they would call back the next day. Received a call in 2 hours and was informed that the only thing that Ford can do is resurface warped rotors unless the rotors do not meet Fordã‚??s specification. I am sure that the only specification is on thickness, and I am sure that since the pads still have 10mm the rotors are going to be thick enough to be turned or resurfaced. When the surface of the rotor is resurfaced a layer of the metal is shaved off leaving less metal on the rotor, put a different way thinner rotor walls. The thinner the rotor wall, the faster the rotor will heat up, and heat causes the defective rotors to warp. If defective rotors are turned they will warp again, and they will warp in less severe conditions than the first time when they were thicker. The operator on the phone was not technical and the discussion went on deaf ears. I also told the operator that this defect is a safety concern due to the fact that if I am going down a hill and have to put on my brakes and hit a slick area in the road, there is a much greater possibility of losing control of the vehicle than if the brakes were functioning properly. This fact combined with the fact that turned rotors would warp at a greater rate and more quickly, leads me to believe that Ford is encouraging the dealers to place potentially hazardous, defective vehicles on the road. My f350 has 21500 miles, and is under warranty. I have researched the problem and found that Ford has done this to a lot of super duty trucks and they are all out on the road with defective brakes. 4/8/03 sent the document to Ford with updates.

Consumer stated the rotors failed prematurely, which also caused the brakes to fail, when dirt was between the brake and the inside of the rotor, it caused premature wear, and the caliper became in contact with the rotor which created a metal to metal contact. Mr.

Blue smoke coming from tail pipe. Form letter reply. The tail latch was sticking, the rotor had to be machined, the windshield had to be re-sealed due to it leaking, the ball joints and serpentine belt were replaced, the valve cover gasket was leaking and had to be replaced.

At 35000 miles left hub assembly went out. Dealer told consumer when axle hub assembly went out it caused bearings to get really hot, and could possibly start a fire. Consumer stated at 35,750 mile vehcile's right/ left hub assembly and rotors had to be replaced. Consumer stated that at 66,000 vehicle needed another left hub assembly.

2001 Ford F-350 7. 3 crew cab super duty purchased new . At 48000 miles bought it in for a steering wander problem and front brake pulsation. Dealer diagnosed the problem to be bad upper and lower ball joints and bad drag link. I do not tow or plow with this vehicle have had it serviced at dealerships for most of its service life don't think that the truck should have bad ball joint this young in its service life. The wander makes the truck tricky to drive in winter conditions when you have to stay in the tire tracks on snow covered roads . You cant take your eyes off the road for a second the truck starts to wander not that your supposed to take your eyes off the road. As for the brake pulsation had the rotors turned @ 34000 miles because of the same problem it came back at about 38000 miles on a long trip now no towing and no unusual hard braking. The pulsation makes the truck hard to steer during moderate braking events.

Brake rotors keep warping causing cyclic loading and possible fatigue failure to steering and braking components. Design change has been made to recent production, old units are still defective in design and/or manufacture.

Brake rotors repeatedly warp. First time, dealer covered under warranty at 12937 miles. Second time, dealer claims that warranty repairs for brakes are not covered after 12000 miles. Air conditioner totally failed last summer--so far working ok.

Headlight switch failed unexpectedly,going to work. Brakes pulsate when applied at all speeds, dealer cut down rotors at apporox. 23,000 miles. . . I asked if they had any others need cut at that mileage, he stated was probably due to rust. . . I purchased this truck only 4 weeks after build date, and it does not sit. . . Truck continues to have a pulsating brake, and is hard to stop.

Every 20,000 miles rotors went out. Front end bounced around, and stopping distance had increased. This was the 3rd time that rotors wore out. Dealer said it was because of improper braking.

Both brake rotors found to have numerous hairline cracks as well as 2 large cracks one exceeding . 5 inches in width an extending from hub to outer edge of the rotor. Caused severe shaking and near uncontrolable steering. Dealership notified and unconcerned with incident.

Brake rotors cracked.

While driving at 55 mph and without prior warning the front brake rotors cracked. Ford refuses to admit that they have a problem with brake rotors.

The right and left front brake rotors cracked in half to the hub in which could cause loss vehicle control. Dealer cannot determine problem.

Rotors are causing vehicle to shake and become unsafe. Has spent over $100. 00 because of bad material on brakes.

When applying the brakes the front left wheel locked up, causing vehicle to pull to the left. Dealer has replaced has replaced the 2 front rotors.

When applying brakes at high rate of speed, driver will feel a vibration, at low speed a pulsation will occur underneath the pedal. Dealer has cut rotors three times and replaced rotors three times.

All four rotors and pads failed and were replaced only after a year. Nlm.

Rotors warp after one thousand miles, have to continuously replace them. More brakes were applied the less stopping power consumer had. Also, doors make a rattling sound. Took vehicle to dealer. Please provide any further information.
