The horn is connected to the air bag module. It cannot blow unless pushed hard. Afraid air bag would deploy if pounded too hard for horn to blow. Poor design.

After going through puddles belt slips and power steering quits, battery discharges, poor design which allows for water to splash on drive belts.

The horn does not always work. It has contribute to two different accidents. The first was when my car backed into another Cavalier, same year, and she informed me that her horn would not honk. The second was when a car backed into me and I tried several times tohonk the horn to worn the man he was about to hit me and the horn would not work. This has caused two different accidents just in my case. The horn works occasionally, but it doesn't work more often than it does. This could really be a hazard.

50 Horn Assembly problem of the 1997 Chevrolet Cavalier

Have had many problems with car - at 20,000 - the dealer replaced the front brakes and machined rotors, after I requested they be checked due to squeaking. Service covered under warranty. At 30,000 - the battery failed on car while parked. Had car towed to dealership and replaced battery. Dealer stated that there was a faulty battery cell. Service covered under warranty. At 40,000 miles, horn has failed. Currently negotiating with dealer to replace without cost. Have always had abs problems - car will buck and jerk under certain wet pavement conditions when abs should not activate. Concerned about this - but cannot afford cost of replacing abs. Dealer has looked at brakes and said nothing about abs problems. Have banging/clanging noise from right rear of car when car is cold. Unsure what causes this. After reading the consumer complaints and defects on this website, believe that my car has these same defects. Frightened that my car is now incredibly unreliable and may catch fire like other cars listed. Suggestions?.
