| Description of the problem | I purchased this truck brand new from ford in december, while on a road trip doing all interstate driving, i had to brake hard to avoid a collision when a semi truck cut into my lane. I slowed sharply from 65 to 30, applying hard braking to the pedal and steering to avoid contact with the semi truck. Since then my brakes have been pulsing when applied to slow my vehicle, as if the rotors are warped. My truck now has 11,000 miles on it and the pulsing just keeps getting worse and worse. *js |
