Consumer Description

MY 2007 JEEP COMPASS HORN WOULD NOT STOP BLOWING. THE DEALER DISABLED IT AND THE CAR WOULD GO IN THE NEXT DAY. OVER 5 DAYS IT HAD TO BE JUMPED 4X AS THE JEEP WAS DEAD TRYING TO GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. IT WAS NOT THE BATTERY AND AFTER 5 HOURS THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS A FIXABLE BECAUSE IT NEEDED A HORN SWITCH. THE PROBLEM IS THAT NO ONE HAS A HORN SWITCH FOR IT. THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER..THERE ARE 527 ORDERS FOR IT WITH NO DELIVERY DATE IN SIGHT. YOU CANNOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITH THE HORN BLOWING OR WITH IT DISABLED OR RUN THE SAFETY RISK OF NEEDING THE HORN OR THE JEEP DYING ON YOU MID ROUTE. IT HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 20 PLUS DAYS. JEEP NOT HAVING THIS PART OR DEALERS GETTING ACCESS TO IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. PEOPLE WILL DRIVE WITH THE HORN DISABLED IF THEY HAVE TO HAVE THEIR CAR...WHAT ELSE ARE WE/ THEY TO DO!!!???...UPDATED 07/30/15 *BF UPDATED 9/23/15 *JS
