HORN BLEW CONSTANTLY, FUSE WAS REMOVED AND CAR BROUGHT IN FOR REPAIR TO STEVENS CREEK BUICK. THEIR COMMENT WAS THAT THE HORN AND AIR BAG WERE WARPED BY HEAT, I PRESUME NORMAL AMBIENT HEAT AS CAR WAS NEVER ON FIRE, THE AIR BAG REPLACEMENT WAS THE RESPONSE. IF T HE AIR BAG IS DESTROYED BY HEAT OF SUN THEN ALL THESE CARS, BUICKS LARGE, IMPALAS, OLDS,MOBILES AND CADILLACS ALL HAVE THE SAME DRIVER PROTECTION OR LACK OF AFTER HOW LONG.*AK

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
