I do not have a fax, but program would not let me continue unless I lied. The car was a demo. It was delivered with 4920 miles on the odometer, but horn was non-functional. It has failed about twelve times since and is currently in the shop with a horn failure. The dealer is baffled. Do you haveother Intrigues with this problem? I hope that you will excuse our not having a fax and allow us to report. Why is the horn not included in the list of safety related equipment? it seems that a horn is necessary to avoid an accident. I understand that law enforcement will issue a citation for a non-functioning horn.

Dealer unable to keep horn working.

Horn is very hard to use and does not sound unless hit very hard - so it misses its purpose as a warning device.

In emergency situations horn is very hard to press because of its location which causes the horn to be inoperative. Also, there is a reflection on the dashboard which impairs the instrument panel view to the driver. When driving into the sunlight the vision impairment is a safety hazard.

After driving for a while it's hard to find the horn. Consumer feels that its a design flaw. If someone steps off the payment and driver can't blow the horn, that's unsafe. Manufacturer contacted, but no response.

The contact owns a 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue. The contact stated that the horn failed. The failure recurred several times intermittently. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 21,000.

Horn location on the steering wheel pads are hard to find when necessary. Whenever horn is hit without looking directly for the pads, it would not sound off. Would have to search for a certain spot on the pad to hit for horn to sound. Hitting area of air bag makes horn blow. Fear of hitting steering wheel cover to hard might cause the air bag to deploy. It is hard to find the spot in case of emergency.
