What owners wrote
While driving at 45 MPH consumer smelled smoke and turned off the heater. Smoke was coming from the under the hood. Consumer pulled into the dealer ship, and the dealer put out the fire. Dealer could not determine the problem.
Horn fails to sound approximately 60% of the time. Force required and size of activating area on steering wheel were severely overlooked by design engineers. I am a 6' tall physically active male and I have a very difficult time sounding horn (very dangerous)
