i've had F150's with the disk warpage.
so often that they were changing front rotors every oil change on warranty.

Haven't had it since i got the Ranger.

be careful with heavy breaking in wet conditions. that always seems to have an adverse effect with the hot/cold
My '05 Lariat would pulse when braking... Even replaced the one piece hub/rotors with two piece so I could just replace the rotors.

We all have followed them in traffic.
Hi John,

Yep! I see it all the time....Brake lights flickering on and off.

Used to be a secondary symptom of always burning out rear tail lights. I was at a "Fry the Engineer" customer experience where the customers could bring in their vehicle and have a Ford Engineer look at their vehicle. We had mechanics available to to some of the repairs but it was usually just curse at the engineer. Not much fun... So fellow, profanity laced complaint on taillights. I asked him...are you a left foot braker? He said... Yeah...so what ahole? All I could do was sigh and direct a mechanic to change out the brake light bulbs on his truck. Glad this Marketing idea was discontinued...

Best,
Phil

I would go on to suggest that drivers like that who are perceptively disconnected from the physics of driving are the primary cause of heavy traffic and jams during rush hour.

Was behind a Chevy Traverse for about 5 miles yesterday. The brake lights were on the whole time. They were working because the lights would go off for a few seconds everytime they started from a stop then would come back on. Sure sign of a left foot breaker.
