Just to pile on to what others have already said, it's all about expectations. I have had my bronco for about 5 weeks now. About week 2 the right passenger window started "creaking" when rolled all the way up, so I don't roll it all the way up 
(leaving it down 1/8 inch). I read here that I would start troubleshooting with a window reset procedure, but that apparently takes holding a button for 10 seconds...twice...I have not even bothered. Even if/when I decided to put in any effort to this, I can't even imagine taking it to a dealer for them to hack on it, I would just hack on it myself with weather striping from Walmart or some such 
Now I admit my wife would have much preferred for me to have purchased a 4Runner, but even she admits that if you stay off the interstate the noise level in the Bronco is "bearable". Now her Sequoia? That thing has to be quiet, and we have had a mechanic (not dealer) work on that for noises the Bronco makes when it's just parked and engine off.
I fully expect to have to put some real time and $ into the top when it de-laminates, leaks, or whatever it is going to do 6 months or 6 years from now, but I wanted a soft top anyways
Thing is, Ford and their dealers are all too happy to sell to customers who have expectations that the Bronco is something other than it is. The complaining is worth it to them I assume.
