My horn would randomly go off if I locked it. After 3 trips to the service department they finally discovered it was a faulty sensor that made my car think it was being stolen. They had replaced the horn as one of their attempts at repairing, however that only led to yet another trip to the service department 2 months later for a horn that stopped working altogether. I HATE CHEVY MALIBU!! I have not gone more than a 6 month interval without major safety defects showing up. I will never again buy a GM car!!!
