Consumer Description

THE HORN ON MY VEHICLE DOES NOT OPERATE, CREATING AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR THE DRIVER, AS WELL AS OTHER VEHICLES AND PEDESTRIANS ON THE ROAD. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, ADDRESSED BY GM "SPECIAL COVERAGE 10276". UNFORTUNATELY, THAT SPECIAL COVERAGE DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, AND GM IMPLEMENTED AN EXTREMELY LOW MILEAGE LIMIT SO IT DOES NOT APPLY TO MANY AFFECTED VEHICLES. THIS PERVASIVE PROBLEM HAS BEEN KNOWN BY GM FOR YEARS BOTH IN THE USA (WITH THE SATURN ASTRA) AS WELL AS THE IDENTICAL VAUXHALL ASTRA AND OPEL ASTRA IN EUROPE.
