Consumer Description

THE DEALER INSISTED THAT THE RANDOM HORN BLOWING WAS COMING FROM A DEFECTIVE TIPM RATHER THAN A PROBLEM BEHIND THE AIRBAG WITHIN THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH IS WHERE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM HAVE DETECTED THE CAUSE. THE CAR HORN BLOWS WHETHER IT IS STATIONARY OR MOVING. MECHANIC WOULD NOT CONSIDER THE POSSIBILITY OF REMOVING THE STEERING WHEEL CAP TO DETERMINE WHETHER IT WAS REALLY COMING FROM WITHIN THE STEERING WHEEL OR NOT. IT WAS JUST EASIER FOR THEM AND MORE EXPENSIVE FOR ME TO STATE THAT THE RANDOM HORN BLOWING CAME FROM THE TIPM. I RAN OUT OF THERE LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL AFTER PAYING $280 FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC WORK! MEANWHILE, NOW I HAVE TO DRIVE THE CAR WITHOUT A HORN WHICH IS A SAFETY HAZARD.
