I bought a new f-150 in 2013. The front brakes began pulsating when applied at 50+ mph. The dealership turned the rotors, charging @ $500. About 6 months later with less than 10,000 additional miles, same problem. Dealer said this is normal and brakes would have to be repaired about every 10,000 miles. Research shows this problem to be pervasive with the f-150 because of inferior material used in the rotors.

2013 f150 v8 with 28000 miles has faulty front brakes. The outside pads appear to be working properly while the inside pads are not. The inside of the rotors are gouged and rusty while the outsides are in perfect shape. I see many other complaints about this same issue. The brakes have been grinding off and on since 15000 mile with normal use, and no off-road use.
