NHTSA Complaint #10143867 — 2003 SATURN VUE

THE HORN IN MY 2003 SATURN VUE MALFUNCTIONED. WHEN TAKEN TO THE LOCAL SATURN DEALER FOR REPAIR, THEY REPLACED SEVERAL COMPONENTS ($400) AND ULTIMATELY TOLD ME THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE COMPUTER MODULE THAT GOVERNED THE HORN ($700). THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THIS MODULE GOVERNED THE AIRBAGS. HOWEVER, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WAS NOT LIT BECAUSE THE COMPUTER MODULE HAD FAILED. A HORN PART SHORTED OUT AND RESULTED IN MY SON DRIVING A CAR WITH NO AIRBAGS AND NO WARNING OF THAT. *NM
