Air Bag On-off Switch problems of the 2011 Subaru Forester

Vehicles horn started alarming and would not shut off. Vehicle was moving through a parking lot when this happened. Passerby attempted to help the driver but was unable to do so. The car was shut off and the horn still sounded. A second person helped remove a fuse which finally stopped the horn. We then had to drive without a needed horn. A dealer was notified for repair. The repair, to our great surprise, required a new airbag installed as well as the airbag-horn switch. This repair was to be very expensive. Many calls were made including to our own dealer in the ne. All agreed to the repair diagnosis given. The airbag had to be truck shipped to our location, requiring an extended stay at a lodging. The actual repair was very speedy. To our grateful surprise, Subaru did not charge us for the replacement air-bag or horn-switch. There was at no time any car impact starting this whole event. The repair/replacement had to be done as we were in FL and had 1500 miles to travel. . . Not viable with no horn or driver airbag. This was a 2011 Forester with low mileage.
