Consumer Description
I OWN A 2004 FORD FOCUS ZTS, PURCHASED NEW IN JUNE, 2004. SINCE PURCHASE, I HAVE HAD THE HORN REPLACED TWICE,MEANING THE CAR HAS IT'S 3RD HORN. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE WATER ENTRY INTO THE HORN ITSELF, POSSIBLY SHORTING OUT THE DEVICE. THE WATER COULD BE FROM A CAR WASH, OR FROM WATER ENTRY WHILE DRIVING IN RAIN. THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT, IN THAT I HAVE NO IDEA WHETHER THE HORN WORKS OR NOT UNTIL I ATTEMPT TO USE IT. THIS COULD BE A MAJOR ISSUE IF I NEED TO WARN SOMEONE OF MY PRESENCE.*JB
