| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While driving, my horn intermittently sounds without touching it. while parked on the street on a sunny day, the horn will blare with no one it. it has almost caused accidents on three occasions. 1) while driving the horn sounded and vehicles stopped suddenly in an intersection and had to dodge each other and nearly had a rear end collision. 2) while i was driving, the horn sounded and i thought that it was another car and swerved instinctively, 3) while parked in the street in the sun, the horn went off and caused a kid to fall off of his bike. i searched the internet and apparently this is a common problem with regals and lesebres and gm wants about $1,000 to fix a poorly designed horn switch. this is clearly a manufacturing defect as evidenced by the dearth of complaints on the internet and intermittent horn sounding is clearly a safety issue. i am therefore requesting that you take action. *jb |
