Constantly Squealing Brakes

I bought my 2014 GT used with a CPO warranty in early February this year. When I picked it up, I drove it for 2 days and npticed the brakes squealed. Took it back to the dealer..... They said they fixed it by "re-settling the pads." Driving it a few days had the issue come back AGAIN. Took it back. Dealer said they used anti-squal and "cleaned" the rotors. Now, the car sounds like a 1977 Toyota hooptie.
Just called them again and they are trying to tell me that Maserati sent a letter out that says the GT brakes SHOULD squeal because of their size. I call BULLSHIT on them.
My wife's Alfa Stelvio has large rotors and Brembo brakes and when her's squealed, the dealer cut/resurfaced the rotors and added anti-squeal and the car hasn't made a noise in 7 months.

Is my dealer doing everything BUT what they are supposed to do? I can't believe that Maserati thinks it's OK for my car to sound like this.

Anyone else with this issue?

I think so as well. But shouldn't they have done that on one of the first TWO times the car came in?
I feel like they just pushed this issue on down the road hoping I wouldn't be so persistent.
I shouldn't have to pay for them seeing the car is CPO'd and if they put it on the lot with pads and rotors that needed to be changed, then that is negligence on their CPO person, in my opinion.

Should I need new pads and rotors at 26,000 miles... I got the car with 24,800. That seems a little suspect.
My Roush Mustang went 112,000 miles and it NEVER needed rotors and only rear pads.

I'm pretty sure they are gonna tell you that is a wear item and not covered..You shouldn't need rotors, but they may want to replace them to avoid any hassles..You are probably gonna have to argue with them some so be prepared for that...Jason

My 2013 had 29k when I bought it and now 34k. The rotors are are original but still in spec. On purchase I found it with almost new PZeros and pads. Had an Indy in Houston do the big service...they said the discs are worn but no reason to not run them out. My opinion is...change the pads (Formula Dynamics?) and have them seated properly. I have no squeaks.
