NHTSA complaint #10019172, filed 2003-05, 12,600 miles“When you push on the horn nothing happens, but the panic button on the remote makes the horn go off. It's not the horn under the hood, that is faulty, it is the switch inside the steering wheel burned up. I have asked multiple mechanics to fix this and they said it would take a whole day and the steering wheel and airbag would have to be removed. They said that they see this switch burn up all the time in GM steering wheels. It will cost a lot in labor and also parts.”
