There is a shaking and vibration transmitted thru the brake pedal and steering wheel when ever the brakes are applied. This happens only when the brakes are applied during stopping. According to the ford dealership this is a problem with f150's. Turning the rotators helps for awhile.

My tire spec and pressure label is incorrect, cold psi is shown at 55 psi front and 60 psi rear and the tpms shows low pressure if under 55 and 60. All local ford service advisers say it should be 35psi. I have been complaining of vibration issues since i bought the truck and feel this has put myself and my family at risk not to mention the premature wear on my tires and suspension components.

While pulling a trailer after 100 mile trip down a major highway, my power steering and brakes stopped working . After taking it to the dealer ive learned the power steering reservoir is inferior, causing cavitation. In other words the fluid over heats and causes pump failure.
