We feel there is an electrical problem the horn is not working again. We spoke to the service manager and asked what if these problems reoccur are we having to pay for repairs, he said yes once the warranty is expired. If we are wrong please tell us, but we have owned a dozen vehicles and none have ever had the horn stop working much less twice in less than 2yrs.
