2013 F150 brake shudder
My 2013 Lariat has just over 7,000 miles on it now. If you brake lightly at 55-60 you get a brake shutter, enough to feel it in the seat of your pants but also can see the steering wheel shake too. if you brake a little harder you don't feel the shudder much. is it possible to warp rotors in 7000 miles? 3500 of that 7000 was put on driving to Texas and back.

Just had my 2013 XLT in for the second time for a slight grind in the last ten feet of a stop. They turned the rotors and resurfaced the pads on the front the first visit and did the rear on the second visit. Service manager said the next time I will get new rotors and pads and he was very nice about it. Don't know why Ford cant provide quality brake components on their trucks.

Have you ben driving "aggressively" prior to this, or getting the brakes really hot pulling a heavy trailer up and down hills? I boiled my brakes pretty early on my 2011, completely my fault though. Yes it's possible to warp a rotor that early. I had the rotors turned and pads replaced, the pads were actually developing cracks. I suggest upgrading your brake rotors if you have an aggressive driving style, EBC makes some outstanding rotors and aren't too expensive, as I'm sure there are other aftermarket manufacturers with a product as good.

This truck hasn't had a trailer hooked up to it yet. I don't think I drive my truck aggressively, I'm usually slowing down a good ways before I get to where I'm stopping. Only had one 'panic' stop but they were already doing it at that point point. On the way home yesterday I had a chance to do a couple hard stops, like you would if you were bedding new pads and rotors. Fairly heavy braking from 50 or so down to 10 and let the truck roll, never coming to a complete stop while the brakes are really hot. After 2 hard brakes it stops smoothly again.

As someone who has a complete set of EBC rotors and YellowStuff pads, who encountered rotor warpage within 10K, I would have to say... look elsewhere.

The overwhelming majority of brake system issues have to do with how the truck is driven. It's not that they use cheap components, just that even the best components will have issues if used hard.

I believe I've towed heavier than most anyone on here with my F150, and my brakes are working just as good as the day I bought it.
