Recall on ignition switch/steering column case steering column had groove marks from steering wheel ignition switched replaced / steering column case replaced since then the horn doesn't blow all the time when blown. I also reported this to the state police here in baton rouge, la.

Horn pad on steering wheel has never worked properly. It takes excessive force to operate when and if it does work.

The horn sometimes works and sometimes does not. We have been to the dealer 12 times prior and each time they were able to make it work but there has been three close calls where the horn did not work and a car backing almost hit my car. We had to yell to make the other car stop! today 12/11/02 we had yet another very close call and the dealer finally was able to see there is a fault as the horn did not function when the wheel is turned. They said the vehicle is out of warranty and may cost over $250 to fix! please let me know if this is a safety item and should be fixed free by the manufacturer. Thanks very much!.

At first right light blewout; then, left side light went out. Consumer felt unsafe because there was a chance of being rear ended. Consumer while traveling on highway a motorist told him that consumer had no brake lights this was the second time in one year due to horn shortening out, first the left brake light and then the right one, also shifter will not come out of park unless the emergency release is used.

Please be advised that this has happened on multiple dates ranging from 1999-2012. I thought it was covered through NHTSA campaign id #: 98v018000 but I did not use the car enough to recognize a pattern until 2002. I think at that time, there may have been several thousand miles in 2002 when I began to use the car on more routine bases. There are two occasions that cause the issue to arise. While I am driving, the steering column will lock up causing an issue to shift from gear to gear and the mobility of the car. As the steering column would lock and cause the horn to malfunction and not make a sound and the limit my mobility to park the car. Most streets that I drive are not on an incline but there have been few occasions, where if the car was on a slight incline, it would begin to roll. I would use the gear brakes to prevent an accident. Another issue involves another path (occasion) which causes the steering wheel to lock which causes malfunctions in the horn and the interlocking incident. If I am driving and in the stages of parking my car, the steering column will lock affecting the ability for me to change gear and my ability to adequately mobility when park. This has occurred more frequently now but it has occurred in 1999. When I was advised of the interlock recall, I thought this was addressed. Once this occurs, the car can only be unlocked when I drive when I press down of the hear charger, put the key in the slight covering the gear changer and move the steering wheel. Between NHTSA campaign id #: 03v423000 and NHTSA campaign id #: 02v120000, I thought these issue was addressed. When I called Honda today and spoke to [xxx] 800-999-1099 ext [xxx], the recall is associated with the VIN soi wanted to make sure this was acknowledged for incidents for my car model & VIN. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

While driving at 60 mph a short within the electrical system caused the brake lights to go out/horn failure, and vehicle not shifting from different gears.

Horn was working intermittently. Then, it did not operate at all. Dealer/manufacturer were notified. Feel free to provide any further information concerning this matter.

Due to the location and the size of the horn, in a emergency the horn is difficult of depress.

Position of horn is difficult to locate during emergencies.

Horn intermittently failed without warning. Dealer replaced airbag mechanism and cable into steering wheel, but problem still occurred. Vehicle brought back to dealer and they replaced steering column at recommendation of Honda, problem solved.

The horn button is located at the very center of the steering wheel and only at the one spot. During an emergency situation the horn is very difficult to find and most of the time you miss it. This results in a dangerous situation being made worse. In the time I have the car there have been three situations where I could not find the horn, pounding on the steering wheel uselessly. There should be a three or a four point horn button.
