Consumer Description
The contact owns a 2021 Tesla Model Y. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the horn was inoperable unless extreme pressure was applied. The dealer was made aware of the failure and sent a Tesla associate to the contact's residence to inspect the horn; however, the vehicle was diagnosed but not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unavailable. Consumer stated horn works but very difficult to operate. Horn/airbag has to be pressed hard in the center which requires removing one hand from the steering wheel.
