Ford needs to pay for brake noise

We have had our outerbamks since Jan and started having brake noise before the 1000 mile mark. Have been given a million excuses and no fix. They may operate fine but the noise is embarrassing when you are backing up. Oh wait that's a new excuse safety feature back up alarm in sure I'll hear that soon. Ford should man up and fix this issue. As for me it'll be the last ford I buy. If they won't fix a small problem what happens if you have a major issue?

Bronco Sport design flaws

I love the looks. I love the size. I love the exterior and the interior. I previously had two Ford Escapes and knew the Escape platform was the basis for the Bronco Sport. BUT...I should have examined the bronco more closely, and if you're thinks of buying one, so should you. The driver's seat is too low, even at its maximum. And worse....I would even say dangerous...the gas pedal is further away , and much smaller, than the break pedal. So if you practice heel/ toe driving, you will find that if you position your heel so as to use the brake, only your toes will reach the gas. In fact, your foot can easily slide off the gas pedal altogether, and could conceivably slip UNDER. And conversely, if you position your foot to rest properly and effectively on the gas pedal, you may have to lift your leg or slide your foot back to apply the brake. This seems like an accident waiting to happen.

Very comfortable vehicle. I purchased an Outerbanks model and absolutely love my Bronco. I'm learning about all it's interior features at present time. I love the look of this vehicle. Very, very comfortable ride. I can't wait to take my friends on a day trip to Hill Country here in TX.

Fun to drive - in town, on the freeway or the back roads. Really a nice vehicle.

I bought this car when they first came out, and what a piece of junk it is. If you want a car that is always in the shop, always needs new breaks, and that you can't trust to drive out of town, this is the car for you.
