All Electrical Systemhorn Complaints
THIS IS A CONCERN. I HAD MY DEALERSHIP INVESTIGATE WHY THE HORN DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK AND THE RESPONSE WAS THAT SINCE IT IS TIED TO THE DRIVER AIRBAG IT WOULD COST BIG DOLLARS TO FIX. I HAD AN ACCIDENT IN A PRIVATE PARKING LOT AND WAS UNABLE TO WARN THE OTHER DRIVER THAT THEY WERE ABOUT TO BACK INTO ME. IT IS WORSE IN COLDER WEATHER. THE LACK OF A WORKING HORN IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY TO FIX IT. IT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FROM FOR A LONG TIME AND THIS IS MY 2ND COMPLAINT TO THE NHTSA.*AK
CAR HORN FAILS TO WORK WHEN COLD TEMPS OUTSIDE AND ENGINE COLD. LEFT BUTTON ON STEERING WHEEL NEVER WORKS AND RIGHT BUTTON ONLY WORKS WHEN CAR IS WARM. I GOT HIT IN A PARKING LOT (LUCKILY LOW SPEED) AND I COULDN'T WARN THE OTHER DRIVER WHO DIDN'T SEE ME BECAUSE THE HORN WOULDN'T BLOW. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM - WHAT HAPPENS ON A HIGHWAY WHEN A DRIVER DOESN'T SEE ME??? I SEE OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEB SITE ABOUT HORNS NOT WORKING AND I THINK IT SHOULD REALLY BE LOOKED INTO!! *AK

HORN BUTTONS MOUNTED ON THE STEERING WHEEL DON'T WORK AND FAILED DURING THE 1ST YEAR. DEALER REPORTS THESE ARE A PART OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY. TO FIX THE HORN BUTTONS, THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY MUST BE REPLACED. COST OF AIR BAG ASSEMBLY IS OVER $600. *AK
