Question of the Week: Brake problems with your 2013-2014 F150?

The NHTSA has launched an investigation into some 420,000 Ford F150 pickups from the 2013 and 2014 model years. For our new Question of the Week, we want to know if any of our members with these trucks have experienced any issues.

Make your pick in the poll above and explain your problems below!

IMO. The stock rotors warp too easily/frequently(front). After switching to aftermarket, problem solved.
Nothing like what they're describing in this investigation though.

The question of the week was phrased too vaguely. The brake issue is documented to be a master cylinder issue. There are 33 documented cases of total failure so 420,000 trucks are being investigated ranging in model years 2013-2014.

Hopefully it is the culprit of a small bad batch of parts.

That's what I was thinking. I presume if the NTSB does an engineering analysis or whatever they call step 2 prior to an actual recall, it will bear that out. Considering my buddy and I are taking cross-country road trips this spring and summer towing our campers (I'm doing US 66 across OK, TX & NM; he's going to Grand Canyon); I'd like some piece of mind!

At 18,000 miles the brakes started to pulse just a bit. Now at 22,000, coming down a steep mountain pass, the whole truck would shake. Time for new, non factory rotors.

ROTORS STARTING TO WARP

2014 Crew cab, 27000 miles, easy old-guy driving with none of the jet-jockey wannabe stuff I did when I was younger. And my rotors are warping. What the hell? I think I will look for aftermarkets when the time comes.

My front rotors needed turning at 25K and now at 62K they need it again. The first time they just skimmed the surface to remove the shudder so I'm not too unhappy. And FWIW, as of my most recent oil change Tuesday 4-19, I'm still showing over 7mm of brake pad on the OE brakes.

Were resurfaced at ~16 and ~26. I just hit 36k and they are due again. Also I can hear them squealing when I back up my very long driveway. Only happens in reverse but very annoying. I go the ESP with the truck so hopefully they can still take care of them.
