Owner report 10502047 · 2013-03-08 (March 8, 2013)

HORN STARTED GOING OFF BY ITSELF AND WOULD NOT STOP WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE A CRASH. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET IT TO STOP (HAVE TO TURN STEERING WHEEL AND CONTINUOUSLY PRESS HORN DOWN UNTIL STOPS). I'VE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME AND THINK THAT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL DUE TO NUMBER OF PEOPLE IMPACTED. *TR

Owner report 11144551 · 2018-10-31 (October 31, 2018)

SINCE PURCHASING VEHICLE IN 2006 THE HORN HAS BEEN GOING OFF BY ITSELF.. WHETHER DRIVING OR SITTING STATIONARY. I HAVE HAD TO BANG ON THE HORN PAD AREA TO GET IT TO STOP. AFTER YEARS OF HAVING TO DO THIS TO STOP THE BLARING HORN, IT NOW HAS A SHORT.. RUNS DOWN MY BATTERY BUT WILL NOT BLOW AT ALL. I HAVE HAD TO PULL THE FUSE TO SAVE MY BATTERY, HOWEVER, BECAUSE IT WILL NOT BLOW, I CANNOT GET AN INSPECTION STICKER. THEREFORE, I HAVE HAD TO DRIVE WITH AN EXPIRED STICKER SINCE AUGUST 2016 AS I CANNOT AFFORD THE HUNDREDS IT WOULD COST TO FIX THE HOR…

Owner report 10549665 · 2013-10-27 (October 27, 2013)

HORN STARTS BLOWING SPONTANEOUSLY IN COLD WEATHER AND WILL NOT STOP UNTIL CAR IS WARMED UP. THIS PRESENTS A HAZARD TO OTHER DRIVERS AND IS A TRAFFIC VIOLATION. HORN SHARES A FUSE WITH THE FUEL PUMP, SO NO EASY WAY TO DISABLE IT AND DRIVE THE CAR, AND CAR WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION IF THE HORN IS UNPLUGGED. A WEB SEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR, BUT SINCE THE HORN SWITCH IS PART OF THE AIRBAG UNIT THE REPLACEMENT COST IS ALMOST $1000. *TR
