I was driving my vehicle and all of a sudden the horn blew constantly. I pressed the area where the horn is to try to shut it off, to no avail. I had to pull over to the side of the highway, open the hood, pull off the fuse cover, find the fuse and pull it out, which finally stopped the horn from blairing. I brought it to the dealership, they said the whole air bag module had to be replaced at a cost of approx. $860.00. I called saturn headquarters, and told them about the situation. And the cost. They called the dealership and said they would split the cost. I am still not satisfied, I think it should be replaced at no cost to me. This is a 2 year old vehicle and for the horn to malfunction because the air bag is pressing on it, is ridiculous. Safety wise, the horn just started blowing and not turning off, scared the hell out of me, trying to find out what was happening and finding a safe place to pull over, I could of injured myself and others when this happened. When I do get it replaced, because I still do not have a horn, whose to say it won't happen again with the next air bag,(poor design) !
2002 Saturn Vue airbags complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 15 of 15, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Dirt supposedly got in my steering wheel case and has damaged a coil, now my horn barely works and my air bag is at risk. Saturn will not repair without a cost of $378.00 and the car is 2yrs old only this month. I drive the car back and forth to work with the air on..and dust in the case puts my life in danger without the possibiity of an airbag.
Consumer had the air bag module replaced four times. Dealer simply continued to replace the defective air bag module, but did not solve the problem.
On march 14, 2003, my family and I were traveling w on hwy 138 in stockbridge, ga. We had a green light and were proceeding through when a ford explorer pulled in front of us. We hit him in the passenger side, squarely across the front of our vehicle. We were traveling approximately 45 MPH when we hit and the two front airbags did not deploy. The damage to our vehicle is equal across the front and the front end of the vehicle is crushed all the way to the front tires. Our vehicle was a 2002 saturn vue. No one was injured seriously, but we were told when we bought the car that the airbags deploy in front end collisions.
In extreme cold weather, the air bag trouble light stays illuminated after vehicle is started.
