Truck shakes while riding brake in traffic up to 2 mph or when backing out of driveway
- Thread starter mjharden
- Start date
So this is an issue with me with my 2011 F150 sc Ecoboost long box. Since it arrived it has a shaking and weird behavior when you first start it and back up. It doesn't really want to stop and it rattles. Then when you now hit the breaks the steering wheel shakes. Now I have asked and had Ford look at it over the years and always "gee, don't know". Can't reproduce etc. Well along the way another dealership found the rear drum brake pad was loose. That helped. Then I talked to someone who understands wheels and tires etc and they asked if I changed out for winter tires. Yes. Then be sure they torque the wheels exactly to standards or you get the wobble and shake. Another facility advised me the reverse problem they felt was due to a defective vacuum pump. Point is there are a lot of things that can lead to the same symptoms so press them. As soon as I get my new RAM up and running I am going to take my Ford to the dealership and have a little eye to eye.

Mine does the same thing too. It shakes at very low speed and back up. I’m going to bring it to the dealer.

Yes, please do! It’s something that’s driving me nuts when sitting in traffic. I’d love to find someone that gets it fixed. Hopefully the complete rear brake changeout per the TSB will fix it.

Well since my truck was built after the dates supplied by the TSB they cant do anything they said. Even though they confirmed and heard there was a noise, said it was "moisture"...so theres that

Went to the dealer today. They said it is normal... I probably will go to another dealer.

Same, went to 2 dealers. First one was a joke and the second at least looked. They confirmed the noise, inspected my truck, said its normal and I said ok. Luckily @RamCares has my back and we are messaging behind the scenes.
Anyone get this resolved? I’m in the process now of trying to lemon law mine...arbitration hearing was on 6/25. This is just one of many problems I’ve had with my truck. Build date was June 18. They’re replacing my starter too, to see if it fixes the louse clank on startup. Also, they’ve completely replaced my brakes including the rotors. We’ll see what happens!
