Consumer Description

JUST PURCHASED A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA, AS I WAS DRIVING HOME I WAS BESIDE A TRACTOR TRAILER WHO WAS ATTEMPTING TO TURN INTO MY LANE. HERE IS THE PROBLEM AS I LAID ON THE HORN I NOTICED IT'S NO LOUDER THAN THE ROAD RUNNER ON DISNEY CHANNEL. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND I THINK THIS SHOULD BE BROUGHT TO HYUNDAI ATTENTION ASAP. THIS HORN NEEDS TO BE CHANGED TO AN APPROPRIATE SOUND LEVEL SO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND DANGEROUS SITUATIONS CAN BE AVOIDED. I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON THE BELIEVES HYUNDAI SHOULD ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AS I NOW SEE MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB ABOUT THE HORN JUST NOT BEING LOUD ENOUGH. HYUNDAI HAS COME ALONE WAY AND CERTAINLY HAS MADE A NAME FOR THEMSELVES AND I WOULD HATE TO SEE SOMEONE GET INJURED OR KILLED DO TO THE HORN NOT BEING ABLE TO GET ATTENTION AND AVOID ACCIDENTS... I HOPE NHTSA LOOKS INTO THIS ISSUE AND IT'S ADDRESSED BY HYUNDAI....THE HORN NEEDS TO BE CHANGED. *TR
