Bought a used 2001 Ford Ranger it was vibrating when brakes applied. Told the salesman and he said they would fix it. Took the truck in, and they charged me $669. 00 said it had been in salt water I bought it April 12th 2004 I did not go near any salt water they knew what the trouble was before I bought it also said warranty did not cover it.
The brake rotors were worn which caused heavy vibration and extended stopping distance when the brakes were applied.
