What owners wrote
Horn does not activate easily. Consumer must depress it very hard and at exact spot. Therefore, in an emergency situation consumer will not be able to activate horn in time , will not be able to warn other drivers , or avoid accidents.
Defective odometer readings, gear indicators disappeared. The odometer reading disappeared, and the gear indicator disappeared on instrument cluster. I have no way to read my odometer, nor do I know what gear I am in, prnd21. Now I can accidently be in reverse and not even know it. This is an extremely dangerous situation, and there should be a recall on this. Mechanic charges $100.00 to fix, and also states they can insert any odometer reading that I would like to have. This should be illegal.
