Consumer Description

During normal driving, I was unable to activate the horn on a regular basis. The yoke steering wheel does not have a horn activator in the traditional "center" part of the steering column, and the purported method of activating the horn by covering all of the buttons on the right side of the steering york never worked for me. It's dangerous and I found myself on multiple occasions not being able to activate the horn.
