MY HORN WOULD GO OFF WHEN I WOULD TURN A CORNER OR EVEN WHEN UNATTENDED. I HAVE A EXTEND WARRANTY WHICH SAYS IT COVERS THE HORNS. WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO BE FIXED, THEY SAID THAT THE PART THAT WAS BAD WAS IN WITH THE AIR BAG AND WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. NOW THEY SAY THAT IT IS THE AIR BAG THAT IS BAD, SO IT WILL COST ME $1000.00 TO GET IT FIXED. SINCE MY HORN DOES NOT WORK ,ACCORDING TO THE WARENTY THE HORN SHOULD BE FIXED NO MATER WHAT. ISN'T THE HORN AND THE AIR BAGS CONSIDERED A SAFETY ITEM?

THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLAMP LENS HAS AN INCORRECT AIM PAD NUMBER ON THE LENS. THIS DOES NOT COMPLY WITH FMVSS NO. 108, "LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: CONSEQUENCE OF NON-COMPLIANCE: IF THESE HEAD LAMPS ARE RE-AIMED USING A MECHANICAL AIMING DEVICE THAT UTILIZES THE AIMING PAD NUMERS, THE RESULTANT AIM WOULD BE OUT OF THE SPECIFIED RANGE. THIS MAY CAUSE A VISIBILITY PROBLEM INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLAMP ON VEHICLES WITH THE CORRECT OUTBOARD LOWER PAD NUMBER.
