My horn would go off when I would turn a corner or even when unattended. I have a extend warranty which says it covers the horns. When I took it in to be fixed, they said that the part that was bad was in with the air bag and was not covered under the warranty. Now they say that it is the air bag that is bad, so it will cost me $1000 to get it fixed. Since my horn does not work, according to the warenty the horn should be fixed no mater what. Isn't the horn and the air bags considered a safety item?
