Consumer Description

HORN BUTTONS ARE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN AN EMERGENCY DUE TO THEIR SIZE AND LOCATION. THERE ARE 2 BUTTONS. AT APPROXIMATELY THE 10 O'CLOCK AND 2 O'CLOCK POSITIONS ON THE INSIDE OF THE STEERING WHEEL. IT REPRESENTS A REAL DANGER WHEN THE DRIVER IS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE BUTTONS TO ALERT ANOTHER DRIVER OR PEDESTRIAN. IT IS EXCEPTIONALLY DIFFICULT TO LOCATE THE BUTTONS,ESPECIALLY IF AN EMERGENCY SITUATION CALLS FOR TURNING THE WHEEL IN AN EVASIVE ACTION. WHILE I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT CAUSED BY THIS PROBLEM, I HAVE HAD SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS. *AK
