I have an 07 F-150. at 13,000 miles i had to have the front rotors turned and new pads installed. I am now at 26,000 miles and having to take it in again. The brakes vibrate when used and I have been told by the dealership that they are pulsating but they don't know why. does anyone know if this is a problem with this year model?

 

Does the truck pulse when you apply the barkes or just the pedal?

Something you can try is drive down a lonely road and let your foot off the accelerator, while holding the e-brake release apply the e-brake lightly. That may tell you that the rears are the ones causing the problem.

If the rotors were turned before, they may need to be replaced.

I wonder if a rotor that is causing that kind of pulsing could even be visually inspected for some kind of uneven surface? I historically do not like working on cars, but I learned to take care of my own brakes and rotors so maybe if you pop the tires off you can inspect each assy by rotating the rotor and see or hear any mechanical offset as you turn the rotor. Also rotors can be inexpensive to replace compared to the the results of not having a breaking system you can trust.

I hope this goes well for you, and welcome to Ford Forums.
