Hyundai Sonata Communications Horn Assembly Safety Report | Apr 29, 2010
Reported on Apr 29, 2010
| WE TOOK DELIVERY OF OUR 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA ON 4/29/2010. AS WE WERE DRIVING HOME A CAR ON THE LANE NEXT TO US ON MY RIGHT HAND SIDE STARTED SHIFTING ONTO MY LANE. I BLEW THE HORN BUT HE STILL CUT ME OFF. AT THE LIGHT I ASKED THE PERSON WHO CUT ME OFF IF HE DIDN'T HEAR ME BLOWING MY HORN AT HIM AND HE SAID NO I AM REALLY SORRY BUT I DIDN'T SEE YOU AND I DIDN'T HEAR YOUR HORN EITHER. WHEN I GOT HOME I GOT INTO MY OTHER CAR AND STARTED IT WITH THE AC ON AND NO RADIO I ASKED MY WIFE TO PRESS THE HORN ON THE SONATA AND I CAN BARELY HEAR IT AND WE WERE JUST SITTING IN OUR DRIVEWAY WITH NO ROAD NOISE AND MY RADIO OFF. I LOOKED INTO THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND OTHERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE HORNS ON THEIR SONATA. HYUNDAI ALSO ADMITTED THAT THE HORN WAS WEAK BUT I STILL SEE NO CHANGE OR RECALL. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER BEFORE IT COST SOMEONE THEIR LIFE OR A REAL BAD ACCIDENT. *TR | |
