“My car choked out and I pulled it beside the highway when I came back to it about an hour later it had been burned.I contacted the manufacturer they said they would do an investigation on my car.within a week they called me back and said there was nothing that they could do.my question is how can they tell me that there was nothing machanically wrong if they didn`t go look at my car. Beside`s my car wouldn`t have been sitting beside the highway had there not been something wrong with it.so my question is what should I do,and who should I talk to?”

NHTSA complaint #754000, filed 2001-11

“The horn has two levels of noise, one of the levels of noise completely went out. Upon looking at it, we found that the horn was filled with water (thereby muffling the horn noise). The horn should be a sealed component on the car and should not allow leakage. This care has never been driven in any high water. Thus, this water could only have been accumulated by rain.”
