Description of the problem	There is an approximately 1/2 second delay from when the horn switch is pressed to when the horn sounds. This is a dangerous safety hazard and has already resulted in my experiencing 3 near misses since taking ownership of the vehicle (in october 2015). The failure of the horn to sound when needed caused me to take evasive maneuvers because the other drivers didn't hear it in time. November 2015 in hoboken new jersey i was heading north on washington street at 25 mph when someone started to back out of a curb facing parking spot. The driver apparently didn't see me and proceeded to pull out. I held down the horn but by the time it sounded the driver was too close and was about to t-bone me. I had to drive onto to wrong side of the road to avoid him. Luckily no one was approaching in the opposite direction. Again in november of 2015 i was heading north on us route 202, doing about 30 mph in a 40 mph zone in parsippany new jersey. A car shoots out of a corporate park driveway headed straight toward me. I held down the horn and again it sounded about a half a second later, too late for the oncoming driver to realize it. We both slammed on the brakes when we saw each other and luckily there was no accident. December 2015 in wayne new jersey heading west on preakness avenue (one lane in each direction) i approached a curve to the right traveling at 25 mph. The driver of an oncoming car (on the other side of the road) crossed over the double yellow lines onto my side of the road. I held down the horn and it didn't sound until the other driver almost hit me. Luckily there was a small shoulder on my side and i was able to quickly move my right two wheels onto it and avoid the collision. Jeep and the dealership i purchased the vehicle from state that this behavior is normal as the horn is designed to use the vehicle's computer. No horn should use the computer.

A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
