Consumer Description

UNCONTROLLABLE CONSTANT HORN HONKING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS DRIVING, WHILE ON OR OFF, ALSO KEY FOB DOES NOT START OR STOP THE NOISE. BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP NON STOP SINCE GETTING THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS A FEW OTHER SHOPS AND NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO COMPLETELY FIX THE ISSUE IT HAS CONTINUED TO RETURN. EVERY TRIP TO THE DEALER THEY HAVE TOLD ME THE VEHICLE IS FINE, ERASE ANY SENSORS THAT APPEAR ON THE DASH, AND SEND ME HOME UNTIL THE PROBLEMS CONTINUE TO HAPPEN. REMOVED THE FUSE TO SILENCE THE HORN NOISE BUT HAS CONTINUED TO DRAIN THE NEW BATTERY. HAVE HAD NO LUCK WITH THE VEHICLE AND NOW I CANNOT DRIVE IT BECAUSE IT KEEPS DYING. THERE IS A LOT WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE.
