Horn would blow on its own. Informed by mechanic the air bag had a short which caused the horn to blow. There was no warning light regarding the air bag defect. Also, the driver side window has an intermittent electrical problem causing window to be inoperable. Dealer disconnected the air bag to keep horn form blowing, and GM offered to pay for half of the repairs needed to correct the problem.
It is extremely difficult to locate the position of the horn in a panic situation which could result in a vehicle collision. Horn only works with extreme pressure at only two specific spots. Two to five seconds usually occurs before correct horn position can be found.
