Consumer Description

THE OEM HORN IS NOT EFFECTIVE, I HAVE HAD IT REPLACED BY THE DEALER WHEN IT WAS INTERMITANT BUT T NO ONE CAN HEAR THE NEW ONE. I HAVE BEEN CUT OFF NUMERIOUS TIMES HIT THE HORN AND NO ONE REACTS, IT IS AS IF THEY DON'T KNOW I EXIST. I TESTED IT ON MY FAMILY AND THEY JUST LAUGHED, CALLING IT A BICKCYCLE'S HORN. SOMEONE WILL GET HURT/KILLED. I WOULD THINK THESE THINGS MUST BE AT LEAST A MINIUM OF "X" DECIBLES, IT THIS HORN MEETS STANDARDS THAN THE STANDARD MUST BE CHANGED.THIS IS A SAFTEY HARZARD. *TR
