Description of the problem | Starting as the warranty expired at 40k miles, my horn became intermittent. It would work fine for a while, then completely stop for a period; sometimes a week or so. But as time progressed, it was not working more than working. By 50k miles it not longer worked and now at 60k it hasn't worked for a long time. Very dangerous. Dealer said twice they would try to get it fixed but never came through. So with my diesel "good will" package, i will use the $500 credit to replace my horn that they should have replaced earlier. Lot's of people online have the same problem. I think it's part of the 2011 recall for horn and alarm system problems, don't think they carried through with the problem. |
