Dt*: the contact stated the vehicle has failed to start on several occasions. There was a clicking sound when the ignition was engaged. While slowing to a stop, with the brake pedal depressed, the vehicle stalled and there would not be enough power to restart the engine. There were other electrical problems such as the headlights turning themselves on when the vehicle was parked in a shaded or dark area. The interior lights have been observed going on and off while the vehicle was parked and the ignition was turned off. Inspections were made by the service dealer on several occasions, resulting in the replacement of the following parts: battery (2 times), battery cables, serpentine belt, fuel pump and the water pump.

Upon the vehicle sitting horn sounds off automatically. It sometimes does it intermittently. Took vehicle to the dealer, and was told that it was being caused by the air bag.

My horn would go off when I would turn a corner or even when unattended. I have a extend warranty which says it covers the horns. When I took it in to be fixed, they said that the part that was bad was in with the air bag and was not covered under the warranty. Now they say that it is the air bag that is bad, so it will cost me $1000.00 to get it fixed. Since my horn does not work ,according to the warenty the horn should be fixed no mater what. Isn't the horn and the air bags considered a safety item?

The horn started sounding all by itself. I stopped it by tapping the steering column. After tapping the horn intermittantly for six miles, the dealer disconnected the right horns as an interim measure, a few days later the left horns were going off at will (stereo horns, guess that's why the park avenue is more expensive). I used a fingernail file to disconnect the clips on the left horns , they were harder to reach. After making an appointment to have the problem resolved I was informed it was going to be $700.00 for parts and aprox $100.00 for labor. The horn assembly tied to airbags"was sensitive" I was told. For that amount I could send the car to a psychiatrist and still come out ahead. Should something as important as horns and airbags be tied together at a replacement cost of $800 plus? Am I the only one with a psychotic horn?

At 6:04 a.m. On 4/28/2000, while traveling at 75 MPH on muskogee turnpike, the headlights went out on our 95 buick park avenue. This car has twilight sentinel. When pushing the headlamp switch, nothing happened, could not get lights to come on. This car has had mutliple electrical system problems. We were able to pull to side of road and wait for daylight. Later, the lights would come on for 3-4 minutes and go back out. Dealer says we have to replace the lamp control module.
