There are no TSB's from Ford on that, and I haven't sold any rear brake shoes for that vehicle, yet. What kind of mileage do you have on this car?

Excessive Squeaking is not too normal. If you have very cheap brake shoes, they will squeak, similar to a New York taxicab's brakes.

I actually find drum brakes to be vary annoying and they always require some attention. Your car is relatively new, I'd assume that the OEM pads are still on the car. I'd suggest taking the wheels and rotors off and taking a look inside, at the very least, check for wear and clean out the brake dust inside the rotor.
