My horn has failed on 5 occassions. Pontiac has issued a service bulletin to fix this intermission horn failure, but the fix does not work. I have had several close calls where other motorists have pulled out in front of me and I have not been able to warn them, as the horn failed. I hope this issue can be corrected properly before and accident occurs. Also, Pontiac has a problem with a known defect in their steering gears that they only replace when it fails and only cover if it is in the warranty period. This problem is caused by an internal leaking of the power steering fluid that is not detected because there are no external signs of the leak. This too is a safety concern.
