| Description of the problem | Our 2014 toyota highlander limited was purchased new with 18 miles on february 25, 2014. On march 7, 2014 while driving on city streets another driver failed to stop at a red light so i pressed the horn to alert the driver while i swerved out of his path. The horn did not work so the driver was not alerted and continued in their direction of travel. My need to swerve would have been avoided if the other driver was paying attention and i was able to alert him with my horn. |
