I know this is an old thread- but it is about that subject.
About 8 months ago, I had 18000 miles on my 2013FX4. I was experiencing a bumping in the rear when braking so I brought it in to my preferred dealer (2 in the area-1 of which Im not a fan) and they turned the rear rotors for me free of charge. They had been warped. I am not an animal on my vehicles so it was odd that this was an issue. I have owned a 99 ranger xlt, 01 f150 xlt, 07 sport trac limited and now a 13 fx4. I have never ever had issues with these fords (except the 01 needed ignition coils like a fat kid eats hoho's).
Anyway, yesterday with only 25,060 miles on my FX4, I brought it in to my dealer and they replaced all 4 rotors under warranty due to warping. The brake pad wear was well within spec, the tires have been rotated accordingly and torqued not using air tools.
I didn't go into my dealer demanding any replacement- I would have had them just turn them again, but they must have seen a problem because they replaced them.
I am satisfied with my dealer and love the truck. Next up will be new tires. Have 6/32 left on tread.
I too have had brake hopping issues and just learned that proper torque and sequence is vital to rotor health. Mine was hopping badly and I just recently decided to stop going to the dealership( long story) and go back to fixing it myself. Loosened all lugs, re-torqued in sequence and went for a ride. Wheel brake hopping is almost gone. Except for engine, transmission or rear end replacement no more dealership for my 2010 F150.
