The horn failed to sound when it was needed. this seems to occur when the horn is not used for some time. i had this exact problem on my 2004 cadillac escalade ext, and i think a recall should be done to resolve this problem on all gm cars and trucks involved. i am tired of being scared when my horn does not work. after a year, gm should have had this problem resolved. i think nhtsa should now resolve it for them!*jb
