Description of the problem	While traveling on i-10 vehicle vibrated violently. Once while traveling approximately 55 mph and once at 65 mph. During the incidents the vibration was not isolated to one part of the vehicle but the whole vehicle vibrated. After inspecting the vehicle the next day in daylight i noticed the following: 1. All wheel rims were completely covered with brake dust. Even though i had just washed the vehicle prior to starting the 1,000 mile trip from houston, tx to green cove springs, fl. 2. All wheel rims had what was either brake fluid or melted wheel grease on the surface. 3. All four tires were damaged by the vibration i. E., tread had started to delaminate from the tire. Tires had approximately 28,000 miles at the start of trip and were in good condition with no tire worn to wear bar. 4. All four tires had scuff marks that appeared as if the tires had been run low on air. 5. The front rotors on the outside surface were the brake pad made contact were grooved beyond what should have been present on a vehicle with 29,000 miles on the odometer. Metal shavings were present on the front wheel rims. 6. The rear rotors were also grooved on the outside with the inside appearing as if the brake pad was not making contact with the rotor surface i. E., only outside pad is making proper contact. I took the 2004 ford f-150 to the ford dealer located in green cove springs, fl for correction of the above problems. Service manager initially resisted admitting that anything was wrong with the vehicle until a maintenance tech walked by and said he had a "tsb on that". Dealer subsequently replaced the front rotors, calipers, and pads. However, the service manager would not admit the vibration caused the damage to the tires. The rear calipers, rotors, and pads were not serviced or changed. Further, the service manager could not or would not admit to original problem with the vibration being fixed. *jb
