Did Ford not get the memo that when you annoy customers or fail in general it’s a loss?

Chimes don't bother me, the double honk certainly does, just don't want to play around with Forscan, have an extended warranty don't want to give Ford an excuse not to cover any problems. So I live with it.

My truck has been in 8 times for warranty work and never have my changes even been mentioned (double honk, startup chimes, oil temp, etc). I even have auto start/stop disabled with a jumper wire soldered in behind the switch and that has never been mentioned, but everyone has to determine what they think risks are and what they are willing to do.
