Horn failure. Sounded my horn at another vehicle and the horn continued to sound even after I took my had off of it. This continued on for about 10 to 15 minutes, including turning car on and off, until the point the horn completely died on it. Horn has intermittently worked on and off for about 2 years now. I was driving on a highway on I-55 southbound between California Ave and pulaski road in chicago. This is a major failure as it is a small car and larger vehicles (suvs/semi-trucks/etc. ) do not always see me. Makes vehicle very unsafe to drive.

Vehicle alarm sounding. With all doors shut properly. I push the lock door control on the key 2x to enable the horn to sound indicating the vehicle is locked and secured with alarm as it should. As of 28 oct 2015 I do the same and now alarm is going off as if a door is open or someone is breaking in. All fuses have been checked and are good. Vehicle is parked in garage on level surface. Checked with both car keys to make sure it wasn't a key electrical issue. The red signal light in the car indicating alarm is on flashes more brightly than usual. I would like to be able to secure my vehicle. Thank you for you time.

I've had this car for only 2 years and there is always something wrong. First I was driving and it just shut off all the light on dash board went off and from that point on nothing on the steering wheel works. No horn and none of the controls of it are working. My passenger air bag light stays on. Been in the shop 3 times still not working. Now the warning light of over heating come on everytime I have to still in traffic on my way home or driving for a over an hour, have to turn the heater on, on high to get the light and warning beeping to stop. It's already 90°, but if I don't the car start shaking. The reason I bought a newer car was to not have to put it on the shop every 4 months. So no horn, cruise control, not sure if air bag work on passenger side and to top it off have to ride with the heat on while it's 90°outside to make it home safe, ,(I think,,). . I call gm customer services over and over again, and they tell me there is not other problems with other cars. My warranty is expired. So it's on me.
