Third time at the dealer and trying to contact Ford customer support for worsening squeaking brakes for 2023 bronco sport big bend. Anyone else having similar issues? Every time I have visited the dealer thus far, they mention they can't do anything else?

Dealers say this is normal, how is this normal on a brand new vehicle? Is this a dealer scam or a general ford scam? Calling it a scam since if this is something they recognized (or normal according to them) shouldn't it have been openly disclosed prior to purchase?

Anyone have any suggestions?

There have been numerous posts regarding the brake issues with the Sports. Send @Ford Motor Company a pm with your vin and dealership’s information. There is a recall about this.

I live in Rural NC. ............so yea It's a dirt driveway and outdoors. a couple weeks after I got my Big Bend, I remember getting up and getting ready to go off somewhere to take care of bills or some such.

Iget in my car, it's about 35-40 degrees out with no clouds and low dew-points. I" hadn't driven for two days and likely had only 1200 miles fron Dealership-employee NEW. Backing up I came up with that flash rust squeal in reverse. I went on in to town, nine miles from here and to Mickys for rat rations and a medium Sprite. So honestly, after I left home, I had no reason to use the brakes in reverse that day. It dissappeared as we all thought, rubbed off the rust flash just by activating the brakes I'm going on slightly over four months and 2600 ish miles on it now. Asked nmy daugher Ford Service Manager and she said there was one on the brakes******

Ford has issued a recall alert for about 800 2023 Bronco Sport SUVs because a leak in their anti-lock braking system (ABS) can cause inconsistent braking power. The vehicles can still stop if the problem develops, Ford says. Jan 31, 2023...

Personally I think it is pure bulls**t that Ford has allowed this issue to continue for 3 years running. See my post #307761. I'm considering getting rid of mine if problem isn't solved soon. I've NEVER had a vehicle make a noise like this. So embarrassing.
