My 2008 Bullitt (1,300 miles) pulls extremely hard to the right when braking hard. A couple of weeks ago I was going around 75 mph and had to stop suddenly and found myself on the shoulder unexpectedly; I was quite embarassed. The whole car felt like it wanted to twist and bodily move to the right; the steering wheel did not move. I pulled off the interstate in disbelief and took it to the Ford dealership. They could not figure out what was causing the problem and said the would contact the engineers at Ford; they told me that there was nothing to worry about and that this condition was of no issue. I have since had to escalate this issue through Ford, with little support from the dealership; I am truly disappointed. They are in the process of switching around the front braking assembly, making adjustments and still cannot resolve this problem...So much for a new car. They also took a 2008 Bullit and a 2008 GT off the back lot and to my disbelief, they pulled to the right upon hard braking. Could it be that I am the only one that has experienced this?
This is my 4th new Ford, second Mustang, and it will most likely be my last. I love my 1992 LX 5.0 but wish to God I would have never bought this 2008 Bullit; I truly do not feel safe in this vehicle.

Wow, my 06 does not do that! I have heard this before though so it makes me wonder if they didnt do this on purpous like they do in big rigs. The idea is that if you have to jump on the brakes then it will "guide" you to the sholder of the road. Pretty crappy in my opinion!

? Might be a problem when you`re in the center lane of the x-way. Never heard of such a thing.

I agree, but that is what I was told some of the new big rigs do from a trucker friend of mine

At high speed braking, I get a vibration from the right front. So far, it hasn't pulled. The dealer couldn't find anything wrong either. I have yet to change pads or resurface the rotors. Maybe that will help.

Sounds like a defective right caliper.
It kinda freezes up instead of pressing progressivly.
The ABS could also be wacky, for some reasons.

Try another dealer AFTER you get an opinion from a brake repair facility, like Just Brakes etc...
Those guys will figure it out.

i just changed my pads on my truck and having the same problem im gunna bleed the breaks tom and make sure that one line isnt gettin more pressure then the other...

Thanks for the advice
They have just about done everything they can at the Ford dealership. They even special ordered a device that measures the pressure in the brake lines and that even checked out. I'll know more tomorrow when the engineer comes out to the dealership.
