Description of the problem | My horn does not work when i press on the steering wheel unless i turn the wheels to the right or to the left then it will work. I took in my truck to the toyota dealer and they told me this is not covered under the warranty and that they will have to charge me $130 to look at it. I told them that this is a safety issue. When i am driving and something happens and i have to beep someone i cannot do that no matter how much i press on the steering wheel. I bought this car new. I owned other cars before but this is the first time i drove a car with no horn. To me it seems to be a manufacturer issue i believe toyota should repair this at no charge. |
