Consumer Description

THE HORN DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK. IT HAS CONTRIBUTE TO TWO DIFFERENT ACCIDENTS. THE FIRST WAS WHEN MY CAR BACKED INTO ANOTHER CAVALIER, SAME YEAR, AND SHE INFORMED ME THAT HER HORN WOULD NOT HONK. THE SECOND WAS WHEN A CAR BACKED INTO ME AND I TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TOHONK THE HORN TO WORN THE MAN HE WAS ABOUT TO HIT ME AND THE HORN WOULD NOT WORK. THIS HAS CAUSED TWO DIFFERENT ACCIDENTS JUST IN MY CASE. THE HORN WORKS OCCASIONALLY, BUT IT DOESN'T WORK MORE OFTEN THAN IT DOES. THIS COULD REALLY BE A HAZARD.
