| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I purchased a used 1997 saturn sl in 2005. when i negotiated to purchase the vehicle the horn was not working. the used car dealer replaced a fuse. the horn then worked intermittently if the horn button was pushed just so. within a week it failed to work at all. i contacted saturn (via the internet) and got no help, other than to take the dealer for repair. this car was totaled out in an accident. i liked it so much (other than the horn issue) that i bought another one - a 1996 sl. the horn on the 96 also worked intermittently. again, pushing the horn button in just the right way would activate the horn. recently it stopped working - just like the 97. i feel that this must be a pervasive issue. i have never owned any other vehicle with a horn issue. it is definitely a safety issue; one that could be very expensive to repair due to the steering wheel having an air bag. i reviewed a few web sites that described similar problems and noted a recall on a 96 saturn z model. this proves that saturn has had some horn issues before. i'd appreciate any help i can get to get saturn to repair this issue without potentially burdensome cost to me. feel free to contact me.
