Thanks for all the replys,I think I will put good aftermarket rotors and pads on myself.Maybe I will buy a Toyota next time so I don't have to put up with the Fords dealers bull****.

Total brand switch because of a rotor issue? Hm. Okay.

Buy a older Jeep truck. Theyre the best.

Fortunately, mine are still ok at 10k miles. If the problem persists, I would get some good blank rotors, such as Brembo or Autozone Duralast. Good thing about Autozone is, if they warp within 2-3 years, you can take them back for new ones.


Additionally, get some good ceramic pads, like Hawk LTS (I've also used Autozone Gold in the past as well with good results). Bed them in properly, and you should be good to go.

I have 25,000 miles on my 2015 5.0 XLT and no problems with brakes what so ever! And yes i pull stuff. Somethings not right with yours and you shouldn't have to buy after market brakes to fix it!!!!

The point of the matter is that Ford won't do anything about it.So good luck with anyone else with the problem,they just won't throw a new set of rotors on it.

Did you do any very heavy (emergency) braking in the first couple hundred miles that could have put hot spots on them? Don't think I've ever heard of brand new OEM rotors being bad off the lot..

I used to break in all my brakes on my BMWs the same way after rotor/pad replacements:
Go find an empty country road
Get up to 60 and slam on the brakes, slowing till about 10 mph without stopping
Accelerate back up to 60, slow till about 10.....

Do that 3-4 times and everything will be nice and bedded in, all the factory oils and garbage will be burnt off.

Don't think they were bad off the lot (could be wrong). If you haven't heard any stories of bad rotors on f150s then you are making it a point to not look or not acknowledge the threads when they are hear. I almost don't log on without seeing a thread on brake issues. It all goes back to a under sized/quality rotor for a 6,000 lb truck.

I haven't had to slam on the brakes per se, but I know the ACC has hit 'em pretty hard, and I use that a lot, so I'm blaming ACC

my 2013 edge sport had 112k miles on the original pads/rotors and they still werent even close to being worn enough to change out... so not all ford brakes can be bad/weak. I brake hard when needed but I agree the go pedal is alot more fun.
