Red face Brakes

I feel modulation in the brake peddle when braking. There is a noticable vibration when you brake at any speed. It doesn't pull one way or the other just vibration thru the brake peddle. If this were a motorcycle I would look for a bent rotor. Any suggestions?

Sounds to me like a warped rotor. I've had same issue the last 3-4 months.

Thanks for the input. My local Ford is taking a look at it on Wednesday. I'll let you know what they find out.

They said both front rotors were warped. Turned them and viola, modulation is gone. Unfortunately an irritating squeaking noise appeared. Took all four wheels off and noticed they didn't clip the brake lines back on right on the front driver's side. Cleaned the inside of the wheels, attached the hoses correctly and everything was great. I spoke to the service manager about the situation. Not trying to get anyone in trouble but I don't really appreciate having to go back and redo their work. Even with an air hammer it takes a long time to take them off one at a time....
