“Horn has failed 4 times since I bought the car new off the lot I go to honk my horn and nothing again this is my 4 time to take to the dealership and have had them replace it!! VERY DANGEROUS when you have NO HORN!!! Pls look into WHY the horn keeps randomly going out about every 12,000 miles I need a new horn!!!!”
NHTSA complaint #11773576, filed 2026-10“My 2024 Hyundai Elantra limited horn stopped working, almost causing someone to hit me. The car only has 4,000 miles on it. I am extremely lucky I did not get in an accident because of this. Extremely dangerous issue and soon further research its a very common problem with some newer Hyundais. There needs to be a recall before some actually gets hurt!”
NHTSA complaint #11622991, filed 2024-10“Horn is not working. After I hit 10k miles it suddenly no longer has worked, I am currently at 34250k miles and received a recall letter from hyundai themselves in case of any issues with the car but I don't have the paper. I went to dealer one time to give it a look but they were not working with me and treated me disrespectful so I gave up and been driving with no horn in car.”
NHTSA complaint #11699588, filed 2025-11“My 2024 Hyundai Elantra limited keep slamming the breaks and Hyundai keep running me in circles and won’t fix it. I fear my vehicle will cause a collision. A case with Hyundai has been open for over 3 months.”
NHTSA complaint #11771753, filed 2026-10“Horn stopped working! I bought the car in January of 2024 brand new off the lot in June my horn just stopped working the fuse was blown so it was replaced and within 2 months the horn went out again I contacted the dealership and horn replacement was ordered finally came in and changed out in November not sure why my horn went out but I need my horn I was almost hit 3 different times and a horn would have let the other driver know I was there so too close for my comfort!!”
