| Description of the problem | The horn on the 2011 hyundai sonata is so weak it is inaudible while in traffic. The dealer ordered a new one but to no avail. My sonata was built prior to the sept. 2010 switch to a dual horn. The old horn is a hazard and offer no protection to alert drivers as to prevent accidents.
