Consumer Description

THE HORN RANDOMLY SOUNDS OFF DURING THE NIGHT. I'VE DISCOVERED ITS A TEMPERATURE THING. WHEN ITS COLD OR THE INTERIOR COOLS DOWN THE HORNS STARTS TO BLOW, BUT WHEN WARM EVERYTHING IS FINE. SO MOSTLY AT NIGHT THIS OCCURS. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL! AS THE CONNECTION RING INSIDE THE AIRBAG IS CLEARLY FAULTY. THE ONLY FIX IS TO REPLACE THE AIR BAG OR PULL THE FUSE TO THE HORN. HOW IS THIS SAFE? I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR AND FOUND THE HORN DIDN'T WORK. THERE WAS NO FUSE! SO I REPLACED IT AND THAT'S WHEN THE PROBLEMS OCCURRED. CLEARLY THE FUSE WAS MISSING FOR THIS VERY REASON. *TR
