Brakes scraping

Suzuki Swift 2020 Hatchback 5543 miles

When braking, a clunking sound followed by scraping noise. Seems to be getting worse. Developed over the last week.

Same issue here

What is brake fluid and which one should you use for your Swift?

I have very similar issue just started to occur with my 2018 Suzuki Swift. In for service 6 weeks ago, given all clear, brake pads almost new.

Just had garage look at issue & they tell me it is a plate on/around the brake pads coming a little too far forward. Did not agree that this was a possible design issue & wanted $480 to replace pads (may still happen) or $220 to file down the plate.
They did confirm issue is not doing any damage or affecting brake integrity so could just live with noise. I went with this option but still fail to see how this isn't a design issue the manufacture should rectify!

I have a Swift 2020 the same issue with brakes making grinding noise when breaking at a corner doing 40-50 km or down hills or just breaking heavily. I just had a 30 k service (which is only 17,000 on the speedometer ) the grinding noise wasn't as bad before the service but had been there previously. I took it back a week later they checked the brakes and told me it’s normal at the Suzuki Service Center. Past Suzuki cars I can’t recall them making such a noise when heavily on the brakes. Does any one have any suggestions on what the problem is.
