The list of my dislikes about my new Bronco is very short. They are:
1. Moisture in the rear cargo floor compartment. No idea why. Water is not getting in from above. Right now, the carpeted underside of the lid has stayed wet for several days, and there is moisture/condensation on the tools/jack/etc.
2. The loud-as-hell double horn chirp when I leave the engine running and get out and close the door. There is no option for disabling this. Don't tell me to download some third-party software to install in the computer system of my new Bronco. I dislike and do not understand the keyless, push-button ignition concept to start with, but since that's how it is, I keep my keys in my pocket. I'm not going to clutter up my interior by having to stick the keys somewhere. I keep them in my pocket since the key ring has my work and house keys on it, as well as the key for my storage trunk in the back. You may ask why don't I just turn the engine off? Because I often stop at a gas station a quarter mile from my house to get things, and I don't want to turn it off and back on again 1.5 minutes after cranking it at the house. It's not good for it to shut it off before it's warmed up. And I often pull up to my business after hours to run inside to grab something, and I don't want to turn the truck off. The only way it doesn't chirp if you leave the engine running and get out is if you leave the door open.
Not only is the double chirp piercing to my own ears, it makes anyone within a half mile think you are honking at them, so they turn and look.
3. The waterfall of rainwater if you put the window down during rain. This one is so minor I hesitate to mention, but I guess I will, even though it doesn't bother me enough to care about, since I have even a mildly negative opinion of it.
