1 Horn Assembly problem

Failure Date: 09/24/2015

I have a 2002 Oldsmobile Alero which throughout the years has not started when you put the key in the ignition and turn. Numerous times I've had my car towed to a mechanic only to have it start once it gets dropped off. . . Hence they were never able to diagnose the issue. On September 24, 2015 again my car just didn't start. Lights, blinkers,horn all worked but it would not turn on. Finally had a mechanic come to my house and do a diagnostic which read security system lockdown. I went online and this apparently is an ongoing issue with this particular make and model. Hundreds of complaint are listed with the exact problem. Oldsmobile refuses to do a recall. I am a senior citizen on a fixed income. To fix this issue my mechanic wants $650. 00. I feel because this has been an issue that has been reported repeatedly with thousands of complaints Oldsmobile should be responsible to reimburse me.

-the contact stated that he purchased a 2002 Oldsmobile Alero and the horn would sound at anytime. The contact stated that he had to take the fuse out of the horn to keep it from sounding. The contact took the vehicle to a repair shop and was told that the vehicle had a defective horn pad and that the steering column and airbag would also need to be replaced if the horn pad is replaced. The vehicle had approximately 70,000 miles at the time of the failure. The horn has been replaced. Updated 02/22/07.

Horn does not work when the weather is warm/hot. Does seem to work sometimes when the weather is cold. This has caused 3 very serious close calls. The horn is a safety precaution and without it my self and my family are in serious danger of an accident.
