I do not have a fax, but program would not let me continue unless I lied. The car was a demo. It was delivered with 4920 miles on the odometer, but horn was non-functional. It has failed about twelve times since and is currently in the shop with a horn failure. The dealer is baffled. Do you haveother Intrigues with this problem" I hope that you will excuse our not having a fax and allow us to report. Why is the horn not included in the list of safety related equipment" it seems that a horn is necessary to avoid an accident. I understand that law enforcement will issue a citation for a non-functioning horn.

Horn is very hard to use and does not sound unless hit very hard - so it misses its purpose as a warning device.

After driving for a while it's hard to find the horn. Consumer feels that its a design flaw. If someone steps off the payment and driver can't blow the horn, that's unsafe. Manufacturer contacted, but no response.

In emergency situations horn is very hard to press because of its location which causes the horn to be inoperative. Also, there is a reflection on the dashboard which impairs the instrument panel view to the driver. When driving into the sunlight the vision impairment is a safety hazard.
