As I'm driving, the horn will sometimes just start blowing by itself for no reason. This is an extremely unsafe as when I'm driving and this happens, it's will scare me completely and usually those around me. I have to quickly pull over and bang on the horn to get it to quit blowing. It seems to be in the airbag area. Thank you.

Engine · at 104,551 miles · reported Jan 7, 2015

Engine,6.0 diesel was loosing water. Took the vehicle to the dealer and was told that the head gaskets were blown and that the head bolts were soft and had stretched. This is a known fault with this engine according to the dealer. If it is a known fault, why hasn't there been a recall to fix this. I have never known an engine to have blown head gaskets at 104,551 miles. There are numerous service bulletins on this problem.
