Tl-the contact owns a 2003 Saturn Vue. The contact stated after she had her ignition switch remedied, the air bag and service vehicle soon warning lights illuminated. The contact also stated the horn would not work. The dealer was made aware of the failure. The manufacter was made aware of the failure/ the failure mileage was 166,000. Mc.
Car parked at work - informed horn was blowing on car. Turned off alarm - still blowing. Thumped center of steering wheel - blowing stopped. Happened one week later - same scenario. Two days later - blew horn at dog while driving - had to thump center of steering wheel to make blowing stop. Have had six (6) more incidents since April '13 = seems to happen when heat builds up in car. Thumping center of steering wheel stops blowing. Afraid to disconnect horn due to safety of having a horn. Have read multiple, similar complaints on internet - focuses mainly on '02 and '03 Saturn Vue. Wondering if there is a recall? have seen estimates for repair of horn switches and airbags above $700. 00. Seems to be chronic problem - could lead to fire in airbag due to faulty switch???? very concerned. Thank you! mr. Earlane cox lexington, ky.
My horn started blowing early 1 morning and I had to disconnect my horn the switch went out the horn switch is in the air bag assembly. This was a common problem with the 2003 Saturn Vue.
Horn starting sounding off, kept sounding until battery died. Horn switch is in the steer wheel and connected to the airbag. Only way to fix is by having horn fuse in plugged. This is a major safety issue.
