| Description of the problem | I bought a new f-150 in 2013. The front brakes began pulsating when applied at 50+ mph. The dealership turned the rotors, charging @ $500. About 6 months later with less than 10,000 additional miles, same problem. Dealer said this is normal and brakes would have to be repaired about every 10,000 miles. Research shows this problem to be pervasive with the f-150 because of inferior material used in the rotors. |
