Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The horn is so quiet that when I was driving on the highway at 65 mph, someone changed lanes without looking.

This could also be dangerous for pedestrians in case of a wrong crossing, as the horn may not be loud enough to alert them.”
