DURING THE EXTREME COLD PERIOD THIS PAST WINTER, THE HORN PAD ON MY VEHICLE DEVELOPED AN ISSUE WHERE THE HORN STUCK ON DURING THE EARLY HOURS OF THE MORNING. CIRCUIT HAD TO BE DISABLED IN ORDER TO SILENCE THE HORN. THIS IS PART OF THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG SYSTEM AND CANNOT BE EASILY, OR INEXPENSIVELY REPAIRED, SO THE VEHICLE IS WITHOUT A WORKING HORN. IN CHECKING FEEDBACK SITES ON THE ALERO, THIS SEEMS TO BE AN COMMON ISSUE WITH AGING ALEROS THAT ARE LEFT OUTSIDE OVERNIGHT IN SUB-FREEZING WEATHER CONDITIONS. *TR
