Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have had to take this vehicle into the dealership for braking problems 7 times now. there has been a constant vibration upon braking. the vibration has become so bad at times, it is difficult to hold the steering wheel. the vibration is being caused by warped rotors. the rotors have been turned and replaced at least 2 times each. i am now on my third set of rotors. the last time i brought the truck back from dealership, it was obvious the caliper was sticking. ford even had an engineer look at the truck. the engineer looked at the truck 100 miles before the caliper was sticking. he couldn't come up with any reason for the warpage. on taking my truck back to the dealership this past time, the brake pedal started going to the floor and was making a whooshing sound upon depressing the pedal. i was afraid it wouldn't stop. i am now afraid of driving this truck because i don't know what will happen with the brakes next.
