Note: this is a supplement to my earlier odi report # 713057, filed via the internet two days ago on 10/09/99 regarding a safety problem with the extreme difficulty blowing the horn on certain 1998 Chevrolet S10 pickup trucks. The service rep at sullivan Chevrolet in roseville, CA, had previously suggested that the problem was unrepairable because of a design defect. There is indeed a serious design defect. But after taking the vehicle back to the same dealer a second time -- and after filing a complaint with NHTSA two days earlier -- the dealer's quality control expert, robert potter, was finally able to partially repair the problem by removing the driver's side airbag and horn assembly on my one-year-old vehicle and using a crowbar to bend the horn assembly and air bag mounting bracket outward to allow more "play" between the horn ring and the steering wheel. The design defect turns out to be too little play between the horn ring and the steering wheel, so that when you press the horn ring, it bumps against the steering wheel instead of making contact with the electrical connections to the horn -- thus requiring an enormous amount of thumb pressure to force the horn ring past the obstruction to make electrical contact to blow the horn in a sudden emergency. The local service rep said they have had a number of other complaints that the 1998 chevy S10 horn is much harder to blow on one side of the steering wheel than the other side. The manufacturer should issue an immediate recall to have the horn assemblies adjusted to safe tolerance levels to prevent serious accidents.

Horn failed. Yh.

Horn contact and/ or cancelling cam was replaced twice. When turning the wheel certain places have a dead spot. Also, the passenger's seat does not lock in place, it rocks. When pulling seat belt across consumer, and leaning forward to adjust the radio, seat belt locks up. While driving down the road at approximately 20mph in the neighborhood vehicle just dies. Took it to the dealer and was told it was just the battery. Had the battery replaced, and still the same problem. Contacted dealer and manufacturer.
