Horn Assembly problems of the 2004 Chevrolet Malibu

Takata recall. My radio started displaying a service air bag message and my horn stopped working. The wiring in the car has stopped working. I began to replace lightbulbs thinking they were blown but just will not work. Heard this car was recalled for these exact problems I am having but for some reason my car has no recalls. My steering wheel makes a knocking noise when turning very sharp. Sounds like a piece is broken knocking around.

The vehicle horn was inoperable and the contact was unable to alert the other vehicle not to back into her vehicle.

The vehicle was not taken to a dealer nor independent mechanic and there was no diagnostic test performed. The approximate failure mileage was unknown. Lb.

The auto theft light comes on when I unlock my doors and headlights flashes and the radio clock light flash until I start the car, sometime I have to shut the car off and restart it to get it to stop. Then the car doors unlock and lock when I am driving down the street. When I put my car in drive there is a horn sound. What is wrong with my car?.

Intermittent turn signals and horn continually goes off having to remove fuse.

This car is terrible. Not only did my brakes not work which made my car crash through the front of my house the steering has been replaced twice and the problem still exists. The electrical system has major problems. The blinker burned a hole through the lens cover and makes the horn, doors and lights not work. I have contacted gm several times over the last 5 years and they don't care because the warranty is out. Then you read how many people have the same problems. They got their bailout how about a bailout for the people who bought gm products. There seems to be no help for the consumer.

The contact owns a 2004 Chevrolet Malibu. While driving 35 mph the steering wheel began pulling to the right. The dealer inspected the vehicle and stated that the steering rack had excessive play and needed to be replaced. The failure also caused the driver and passenger side front tires to become worn which needed to be replaced. The repair cost was $657 since there were no related recalls or valid warranties. The wiring in the horn was also defective and it was repaired at the owners expense for $200. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure and current mileages were 23,800.

First my horn fuse continued to blow. I replaced the fuse multiple times. Then my turn signal light went out. I looked at it and noticed that both sides had holes burnt through the amber globe. I was out of town and didn't want to receive a ticket for non working light so I had it replaced, however within a day the bulb blew again and the horn fuse blew again. I took it to the dealer and they said they had no clue what was causing it however I had to pay over $500 to have the headlight parts replaced on both sides. I have an extended warranty and they denied the claim b/c they don't replace lights, however the fact that the car is burning up I don't think I just wanted new lights. I do not feel I should be out money for a problem that has obviously occurred on other vehicles and now mine. I feel that a car that is actually melting/burning is a major safety concern. . . . But I guess until a few people blow up in there vehicles people will be out money to pay for a faulty automobile. I wish I still had my Ford. . It never gave me the problems this car has. I started with steering going out, then back hatch never opened, car remote systems doesn't work (and I won't pay to replace that), now the car is blowing fuses, lights, and burning up melting the plastic. I think they should just start replacing the 2004 with something a little more safe. . . . Like a Ford.

The horn on my vehicle failed. This led to a near collision as I was unable to utilize the horn to alert the other driver to my presence. I took my 2004 Malibu to my mechanic who replaced the fuse. The horn worked for about a day and then when being operated by another driver, he tried to use the horn when another vehicle ran a red light and the horn did not work. Per the mechanic the fuse blew again. He ran a check on service notices for the vehicle and found that condensation forms in the location of the horn due to a known defect in the location. Gm is aware of this, but has not issued a recall even though the mechanic states that it causes the horn to quit suddenly and the average consumer will believe it is the fuse, repair that only to have the horn fail again within days.

: the contact stated while driving various speeds, a short circuit caused all of the vehicle's lights to blink at the same time very rapidly. Also, the horn sounded rapidly, then the vehicle powered down causing all of the lights to dim and the electronic steering wheel to lock up. The vehicle went into a coasting mode. Until the vehicle powered back up again, and the computers overrode each other, the steering wheel would not unlock. The dealership replaced all of the lights three times. This included turn signal lights, headlights, taillights and any other lights to try and remedy the problem. The fuel pump was changed because the dealership thought the fuel pump may be overriding the main computer. The cruise control was also replaced because the dealership thought maybe the cruise control was activating the system, but the problem still persisted. The cruise control was not in use when the short circuit occurred. Updated 10/4/2006 -.
