Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Brake rotors warp excessively. just purchased used vehicle, had to have the rotors turned and brake system serviced after 5,000 miles. vehicle would vibrate excessively upon application of brake. ford service representatives that inspected the brake system stated that the pads looked almost new. in doing research on the internet this exact scenario seems to be playing out with 2000 - 2004 excursion models. other owners claim to have the brake serviced and rotors turned every 15000 - 25000 miles. it seems that the rotors are not adequate to handle the weight of the vehicle with out needing excessive service on a frequent basis. *nm
