Pulley/belt squeak

From what I have gathered, Ford doesn’t think it’s an issue until they start receiving other reports. As much as it sucks bringing it in, seems like a necessary step for us to get fixed. Honestly think they could diagnose very easily if they took the belt off and started the truck to see if sound still present. No way it should take weeks to diagnose. I also called ford customer service and started a case so they can hopefully help fast track if dealer drags their feet.

Make ready guy at the dealership also scratched the hell out of my driver rear window by scraping off the stickers with a messed up razor blade. They said that they will replace the window or pay for a detailer to attempt to polish them out. FML

Just texted my salesman to let him know about the noise. He has been the go between to set up everything with the Service Department (Loaner vehicle, scheduling, etc.) Told him the 2025 R order that he already offered to me is looking very appealing with all of the unrelated issues on top of this noise.

Update. Shop foreman had a listen. He heard the noise. He thinks it’s normal. Basically more of the same, deferring it to until Ford reports it’s an issue. I have an open case with Ford, they have offered to engage the dealer when I bring it back and help figure it out. I don’t really have the time right now to go back and forth to dealer.
I think all with this noise should call ford customer service and report a squeaky pulley/belt noise at cold start, takes less time than dealer and will help them build the case for future squeakers.
