Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have a 2003 malibu sedan, and the alarm/horn has a defect. last year we had a high power wind storm and my alarm blew for about 45 minutes (2 horns). they finally died down by themselves. my car was not hit by anything except for the high winds. i had to take fuse #43 out to make the horn stop blowing every time i started my car. my car need to pass inspection, but the dealership want to charge me $95.00 an hour, to do an exploratory deal on the car, to locate the problem. another car repair company told me the cost would be $900.00, but could not justify, what they were going to do. they stated it could be the turn signal or it could be the fuse under my air bag on the steering wheel. no one can actually explain to me what's wrong, but they want to charge the heck out of me. i do not have that type of money for exploratory examinations on my car. i am quite sure the manufacturer know what the problem is with this malibu, and can fix it without a problem. i can not afford this, i was not told the car had two recalls on it when i brought the car. i feel this is very wrong, i would have never purchase the car, if i knew of recall problems. now i am stuck in the middle without a horn/alarm system. since the dealership wanted to go into my steering wheel to check the fuse for $95.00 an hour, my air bag light comes on. *tr
