Angry Steering Wheel While Braking

Hey All- Do any of you have the same issue? When i'm braking from about 35-40mph the steering wheel will shake. The faster i'm driving and coming to a stop, the more the wheel shakes. I have a 2012 EcoBoost 4x4

Sounds like warped rotors. How many miles do you have on it and do you ride the brakes or come to a lot of panic stops?

I have about 11,000 on it. I do run with my local fire dept and help the police dept every once in awhile so I push it at times, could that be the issue?

Mine is doing the same at 8300 miles.All Ford will do is turn the rotors.I think I am going to go with Raybestos r300 rotors and Hawk pads.They work well on my Superduty.

Most definitely. Rotors are covered, they'll probably turn them, tell you they were warped (even if they weren't), and send you on your way

well, just got back from the dealer. They didn't end up turning the rotors, just sanded them. No more shaking, we will see how long this lasts.
