Horn switch is integrated into drivers side air bag. Horn activated by itself and had to be disconnected. Missouri law requires the horn to work to pass state inspection. The entire air bag unit must be purchased to repair defect at a cost of almost $700.

Horn would blowout automatically by itself. Took to dealer, and dealer indicated airbag housing was shrinking, and that was causing horn to blowout. This happened intermittently.

Contacte dealer to confirm horn defect-contacted bucik customer care-they agreed to pay only half the bill. I feel this defect is not my fault, extended warranty was purchased at time of sale. Warranty has run out.however, this default is not my fault. It was not caused by an accident, but rather than a defect in horn assembly.
