SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
MY VEHICLE HAS 34000 MILES, IT'S A F250SD 4X4 DIESEL. WHEN BRAKING THE FRONT END SHAKES. THIS HAS BEEN ATTRIBUTED TO ROTOR WARP. DEPENDING ON THE MECHANIC I HAVE BETWEEN 70-90% OF THE BRAKE PADS LEFT. THE VEHICLE DOESN'T NORMALLY TOW OR CARRY A GREAT DEAL OF WEIGHT. I THINK THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ROTORS OR SOME MECHANICAL PROBLEM THAT CAUSES ROTOR WARP SO QUICKLY. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE A 2002 F250 SUPER DUTY. WHEN I COME TO A FULL STOP, AND THEN TAKE OFF THERE IS A FEELING THAT SOMETHING IS SLACK IN THE DRIVE TRAIN SOMEWHERE. YOU CAN FEEL A DOUBLE BUMP KINDA OF FEELING. WHEN TOWING A TRAILER IT IS WORSE. THE FORD DEALER SAID SOME TRUCKS DO THIS AND SOME DO NOT, BUT THEY CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM, WHICH I BELIEVE THEY THINK IT IS A NORMAL FUNCTION. *JB
