My anger at the situation is mostly centred on the fact that they created an issue with my car and phoned me to accuse me of having done so, and implied that I would have to pay for them to correct what they had done. This was a risk which was never explained to me. I also take issue with the fact it took them over 7 work hours to determine how to fix this issue. If I'd been at a Mercedes specialist I might have been more understanding that they work with these cars less frequently and have a much lower knowledge base of issue resolution; but I went to a Ford dealership with specially trained technicians. They knew that if the battery is out for over 30mins the car shuts itself down.My horn now beeps when I lock and unlock the car. Is there anyway to turn this off? It never used to happen and I prefer the discreet lock/unlock feature. I've read the manual and can't find anything about it. Any ideas?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been to ford 4 times for warranty work, 3 times in which were repeat warranty work that was not touched.With the experience I've had with ford warranty, I have no intention on keeping it. WHATS THE POINT?New car warranty sounds good... but that's about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
