AIR BAGS
SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE THE HORN WAS INOPERABLE. THE DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED IT WAS BLOWN OUT AND FIXED IT AT NO CHARGE. NOW THE HORN SOUNDS OFF AT ANY GIVEN TIME. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS EXPLAINED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN WOULD HAVE TO BE PULLED OUT IN ORDER TO GET TO THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM. CONSUMER ISOLATED THE PROBLEM HIS SELF AND FOUND IT WAS A SHORT CIRCUIT IN THE STEERING WHEEL PAD COVER. TO REPLACE THE HORN SWITCH, CONSUMER NEEDS THE ENTIRE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY. THE DEALER WILL NOT SUPPORT THE REPLACEMENT OF THE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY. CONSUMER FEELS THE THAT THERE WAS A DEFECT ALREADY DUE TO THE HORN INITIALLY BEING BURNED OUT. *JG
