Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While parked horn went off on its own. owner had taken fuse out to stop horn from blowing. spoke to dealer & informed small plastic piece had worn away between horn & air bag module. it needed to be replaced. seems to be a very common problem and was obviously a hazard (could possibly prematurely activate or fail to activate the airbag). no solution for this problem has been address by the manufature to my knowledge! outside temperature is not a factor at all, occurs on hot, cold or rainy days. *ak |
