Owner report 719005 · 2000-02-20 (February 20, 2000)
THE HORN BUTTON STICKS ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, WHICH DOES NOT ALLOW OPERATOR TO SIGNAL OTHER MOTORISTS ENCROACHING INTO VEHICLE'S LANE. THE TRANSMISSION NEUTRAL INDICATOR LIGHT WILL COME ON WHILE DRIVING OR WHEN AT A STOP, WHEN VEHICLE IS ACTUALLY IN GEAR. THIS HAS RESULTED IN AN ALMOST LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL WHEN LETTING OUT THE CLUTCH AT A STOP LIGHT. VEHICLE NEUTRAL LIGHT WAS ON AND VEHICLE LEARCHED FORWARD INTO INTERSECTION CAUSING A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION.
