| Dt: the contact stated the horn was not working. the service dealer replaced the horn, and reprogrammed the ccm to the latest calibration. since the repair she had to press firmly, in the exact location of the horn symbols. sometimes she has to press on both horn symbols to get the horn to work. the dealer said after time and use the horn should become easier to use. another concern she had was with the vehicle speed control. while at a stop sign the vehicle accelerated on its own. the service dealer inspected the vehicle, but could not find the cause of the problem at this point. *ak updated 11/29/05. *jb | |||
