Excerpts from complaints Venue owners filed with NHTSA, as written. Listen for the same symptoms on your test drive.
Since purchasing the car (New) I experienced issues with the horn stopped working. The dealer replaced it no charge covered under warranty. Received a notification this is a known issue and will be covered for 120,000 miles 10 years. It should09 be no limits Seems to me this is a safety issue needs to be repaired with quality parts that will not fail. I was told at the dealer ship someone is on their 15th replacement.

Horn failed in the vehicle at approximately 4400 miles. Serviced by a Hyundai dealership, but had to wait nearly a month for it to be replaced. No warning lights or messages in the vehicle. I found out that the horn was not working after nearly being involved in an accident after being cut off. When I went to activate the horn, no sound came out.
