I have the same problem with my 2003 Suburban. I think because it's green, it's camouflaged. It's been a problem since I bought it new, do you suppose there's been a recall?

That horn would be SO MUCH FUN!!!!

My dually is lit up like a f'n Christmas Tree and people pull out in front of me more than any vehicle I have ever owned. It is a weekly occurrence (happened on the way to work today actually) that someone pulls out in front of me to the point that I am standing on brakes in order to avoid grease stains on my grille.

Add the trailer... even more people pull out in front.
how these idiots live is beyond me. I had a Chinese girl hit me on the front quarter panel and said she didn't see me.

I read somewhere that white vehicles are involved in fewer accidents than any other color.

I love yellow cars! I've owned two Sunfire Yellow Vettes, a '66 and a '67. The '67 always won Best in Show, and the '66 always won Ladies' Choice (when there was such an award). But it depends on the make of the car:

Corvette: Yes
Acura NRX: No

Ferrari: Yes
Maserati: No

VW Beetle: Yes
Mini Cooper: No

Back in the 70's my friend had a beat to shit 67 Falcon. He put a Train horn in it.

Scared the carp out of people.He loved when some jackass in a nice car moved in front of him in line for gas. He's lay on the horn and they'd carp themselves.

Idiots pulled out in front of that one too.
