The paint is chipping on my hood. It started in 1995. I have been told by dealerships that their was a recall on paint. I was not notified by gm, and when I last attempted to contact them the srvc rep said they remembered a recall but couldn't find it now. Also, every winter since I bought the car the horn gows off in the middle of the night when it gets below freezing. My power door locks keep going out. Are they related to the horn? Since I purchased the car, the front passenger seat locks in upright position but does not slide back into place if the lever is usde on the back of the seat. Is there a tsb? I found a tsb on your web-site for the horn and possibly for the door locks. What do I do?

What owners say
When I put on brakes the is a clunking sound in the right rear tire area like something is loose. It sounds almost constantly when I apply my brakes. The car would not start on cold dates. After start and running for a short period of time it stops. I would start back up later. The coolant leaked out continuously. I had a hose replaced but it did not help. I had it put on the computer analysis but nothing showed up. The horn blows continuously when it is very cold. I had to remove the fuse to stop it. The gas filler door would not open automatically when it is cold. I had to pry it open with a screwdriver. The car pud pud along as if it was not getting enough gas. The odometer seems to be inaccurate recording the mileage. I have not been anywhere but in the city and surrounding areas. Many times I had to stop the car and start it again for the brake light to go out. Although I like the body of the car it has been a disaster for me. Now it does not run at all. I seem to have a lemon car and it was like that when I bought it. It should be against the law for anyone to sell a car like this . This car dealer needs to be put in jail. I have ridden my grandchildren around in this unsafe car and I am very upset at this car's condition as it doesnt run at all now. I have just wasted a lot of money buying it and trying to keep in repaired and run. If this car dealer did not know the condition of this car he should loose his license to sell car. He has robbed me of my hard earned money.
Door latches do not catch when shutting the front driver's and passenger's side doors. This causes the doors to fly open while driving. Dealer has not seen.
Right rear automatic door lock fails to lock.
Door locks failed.
Power door lock does not work, replaced electrical parts and switch twice. Tt
