THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO INDICATED THAT THE AIR BAG MALFUNCTIONED, EXPANDED, INFLATED, AND CAUSED THE HORN TO SOUND AS THE WIRES FRACTURED INTERNALLY IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE DEALER REPLACED THE STEERING WHEEL TO ENSURE THE HORN AND AIR BAG WERE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

HORN RANDOMLY GOES OFF, HAD TO TAKE THE RELAY OUT TO GET IT TO STOP GOING OFF AT NIGHT. ONLY HAPPENS IN THE WINTER, WHEN IT IS COLDER. HAD TO STOP DRIVING, ABOUT GOT RAN OFF THE ROAD WITH OUT A HORN THAT WORKS. DEALER SAID IT WOULD BE ABOUT $900 TO FIX. SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED YEARS AGO FROM ALL THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN ONLINE. *JS

I RECENTLY GOT PULLED OVER BECAUSE MY HORN KEEPS GOING OF UNCONTROLLABLY! I HAD TO TAKE THE FUSE OUT AND I'VE BEEN PULLED OVER TWICE BECAUSE THE HORN GOES OFF AND DISTRACTS DRIVERS UNINTENTIONALLY. THEY GET MAD AND CALL THE COPS.. THEN ONCE THIS FUSE IS PULLED THE GAS METER GOES CRAZY AND DUMB. IT SAID ONCE WE HAD HALF TANK AND WE RAN OUT AS SOON AS WE PULLED OUT THE DRIVEWAY! THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD!! THIS NEED TO BE RECALLED!! *TR

HORN GOES OFF BY ITSELF AND CONTINUES TO SOUND, UNTIL POUNDING ON THE STEERING WHEEL CENTER. DEALER SAYS IT IS A BAD HORN SWITCH WHICH IS INTEGRAL WITH THE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY, WHICH IS NOT A COVERED PART WITH EXTENDED WARRANTY AND COSTS >$750. THIS WOULD BE VERY UNSAFE IN A HIGH TRAFFIC SITUATIONS, OR BAD NEIGHBORHOODS. *TR
