SINCE PURCHASING VEHICLE IN 2006 THE HORN HAS BEEN GOING OFF BY ITSELF.. WHETHER DRIVING OR SITTING STATIONARY. I HAVE HAD TO BANG ON THE HORN PAD AREA TO GET IT TO STOP. AFTER YEARS OF HAVING TO DO THIS TO STOP THE BLARING HORN, IT NOW HAS A SHORT.. RUNS DOWN MY BATTERY BUT WILL NOT BLOW AT ALL. I HAVE HAD TO PULL THE FUSE TO SAVE MY BATTERY, HOWEVER, BECAUSE IT WILL NOT BLOW, I CANNOT GET AN INSPECTION STICKER. THEREFORE, I HAVE HAD TO DRIVE WITH AN EXPIRED STICKER SINCE AUGUST 2016 AS I CANNOT AFFORD THE HUNDREDS IT WOULD COST TO FIX THE HORN ON THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS NOT MY 1ST COMPLAINT ABOUT THE HORN ISSUES ON THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE ALSO DISCOVERED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS HORN ISSUE ON THIS VEHICLE.. HOWEVER, NOTHING HAS EVER BEEN DONE TO RESOLVE IT. RECENTLY, A LADY BACKED INTO MY CAR IN WALMART PARKING LOT, DAMAGING THE BUMPER AND BREAKING THE LIGHT BECAUSE I HAD NO HORN TO BLOW AND WARN HER. THIS IS JUST ONE SERIOUS ISSUE WITH THIS CAR.. THIS THING HAD BEEN A LEMON SINCE DAY ONE.. FROM THE FRONT STEERING SHAKING HORRIBLY WHILE BRAKING TO BOTH REAR STRUTS BREAKING TO RAIN WATER GETTING INSIDE THE DOORS AND FLOODING THE INTERIOR AND SHORTING OUT THE ELECTRIC WINDOWS.
