This Problem Across All Years
When you turn on the vehicle, the abs and traction light illuminates. The light that says "BRAKE" also illuminates and the vehicle beeps 3 times. When driving the vehicle, the red light "BRAKE" flashes constantly, while the ABS and traction control light remains illuminated but no flashes. The dealership says it's a fault ABS module and Hydraulic Pump Assembly. I researched and found a Volkswagen safety recall code: 45F2 (published March 17, 2017) that seems very applicable to my vehicle. Safety concerns include but are not limited to the following: loss of vehicle control, failure to brake properly, auto engagement of brakes not by the driver, etc. All safety concerns may cause my life or the life of another individual.

Every time it rains, water comes down im assuming from my sunroof, ive cleaned the drains multiple times, it doesnt make a differenc, the water goes through my fuse box on the driver side fuse box inside the car like a white water rapid and collects in the floorboard. It blows all of my fuses, it also blows out my headlights, brake lights, and turn signals. Not to mention the mold that must be growing in the car from all the water. I tried contacting volkswagen but they wont do anything.. eventhough ive spent who knows how much money replacing all those bulbs and fuses. Plus the damprid containers ive bought to help dry everything up, and the cleaners, the air freshners, the cost of vacuuming all that water up.. also my doors wont lock, i cant control anything in the car with the drivers side controls, cant open my trunk with the switch by the drivers seat. This has changed my whole opinion of volkswagen vehicles.. i used to think they were really good cars, not anymore!

AIRBAG LIGHT WENT ON ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO. I KNOW THAT MANY VWS, INCLUDING 2010 JETTAS LIKE MINE, WERE SUBJECT TO RECALL FOR CLOCK SPRING. I BELIEVE MY CAR SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL AND THIS SHOULD BE FIXED FREE OF CHARGE BY VW. CALLED DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT'S NOT AND THAT I'D HAVE TO PAY THE $125 DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. HAVE READ MANY STORIES OF HOW YOU ARE RECEIVING MY COMPLAINTS FROM VW OWNERS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED. LIGHT IS ON ALL THE TIME. CALLED VW CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY COULD NOT HAVE BEEN LESS HELPFUL. CALLED YESTERDAY AND ASKED TO SPEAK WITH A SUPERVISOR. THEY SAID THERE NO SUPERVISOR WOULD BE AVAILABLE UNTIL THE FOLLOWING AFTERNOON. PLEASE EXPEDITE I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY AND DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. HAVE BEEN LOYAL VW CUSTOMER SINCE 1998 BUT GIVEN THIS EXPERIENCE AND THE COMPANY'S RECENT ETHICAL MALFEASANCE, AM NOT SURPRISED THE COMPANY IS STRUGGLING TO STAY AFLOAT.

MY 2010 JETTA WOLFSBURG'S LOCKS DO NOT WORK WHENEVER IT RAINS - DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR IS LOCKED WHEN UNLOCK CAR, BUT OTHER DOORS ARE UNLOCKED. HAVE TO USE KEY TO OPEN DOOR. FURTHERMORE, THE PASSENGER DOOR ON DRIVER'S SIDE DOES NOT LOCK AT ALL SO CAN BE OPENED WHEN PARKED AT A LIGHT, ETC. THE CAR HAS A SUNROOF AND WHEN RAINS CONDENSATION BUILDS UP AROUND PASSENGER SIDE DOOR AND WINDOW ON DRIVER'S SIDE (HAVE SEEN MILDEW AND MOLD GROWING SO CLEAN AFTER EVER RAIN). RADIO WAS WORKING AND DIED DURING RAIN. FUSES ARE OK. DEALER SAYS RADIO IS DEAD AND $900 TO REPLACE WITH A FACTORY ONE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT SIDE AIRBAGS WORKING ALONG WITH BEING ABLE TO OPEN A DOOR THAT SHOULD BE LOCKED.

I AM TRULY NOT SURE. IT IS GOING INTO THE SHOP TOMORROW. ALTHOUGH, I JUST PURCHASED IT USED, AND WHEN I PARK IT ON A HILL. IT MAKES THIS ODD SOUND AS IF THE BODY IS GOING TO FALL APART? I SMELL A BURNING METAL SMELL AS WELL. IT WAS PARKED ON A HILL SO IT WAS STATIONARY, JUST NOT SURE WHAT IT IS. I KNOW IT IS USED BUT I ONLY HAD IT FOR 1 MONTH!

VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY WENT TO NEUTRAL ALMOST CAUSING MULTIPLE CRASHES ATTEMPTING TO MOVE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AS IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO ACCELERATE. IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO A VOLKSWAGEN DEALERSHIP AS IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE TO DRIVE AND WAS TOLD THE MECHATRONIC UNIT HAS FAILED AND HAVE BEEN QUOTED $2,360. THIS IS A COMPLAINT BECAUSE THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING OR CONCERN IF THIS BECOMING AN ISSUE AND THE FAILURE OF THIS DEVICE COULD HAVE CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES.

SUNROOF EXPLODED WHILE TRAVELING 70 MPH ON HIGHWAY. NO NEARBY VEHICLES, NO OBVIOUS SOURCE OF IMPACT. SUNROOF WAS IN THE CLOSED POSITION. GLASS MOSTLY CONTAINED ABOVE SUNSHADE (WHICH WAS CLOSED) BUT SOME FELL THROUGH AIR SLOTS AT THE FRONT. VERY LOUD BANG, LIKE A GUNSHOT WHEN IT EXPLODED. OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS 56F, JUST CROSSING SNOQUALMIE PASS IN WA STATE AROUND 1PM.

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, THE SPEAKERS MADE A LOUD POP AND THE ENTIRE STEREO SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING (RADIO WAS NOT ON). THIS INCLUDED BLUETOOTH AND ALL HANDS-FREE FUNCTIONS FOR COMMUNICATION. THOUGH THE RADIO IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, THE BLUETOOTH HANDS FREE FUNCTION IS VITAL, AND IT WILL NOT WORK. I'VE CALLED VW AND HAD IT LOOKED AT, AND LEARNED THAT VW IS AWARE THAT MANY OF THEIR 2010 VW JETTAS WERE MADE WITH FAULTY RADIOS. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF REPORTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE, AND VW REFUSES A RECALL. MULTIPLE VW EMPLOYEES SAID THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL, BUT THE COMPANY WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. I'VE QUOTED REPLACEMENT COST AND IT FALLS BETWEEN $700 AND $800 TO REPLACE THE SYSTEM AND HAVE THE ABILITY TO USE MY HANDS FREE FUNCTION THAT WAS PART OF THE REASON I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. I'VE BEEN FIGHTING THIS FOR A FEW YEARS, HOPING VW WOULD TAKE OWNERSHIP, BUT THEY STILL HAVE NOT ISSUED A RECALL.

WHILE DRIVING ANYTIME THAT WE WOULD SLOW DOWN OR PUT THE VEHICLE INTO REVERSE THE VEHICLE WOULD GO RANDOMLY IN NEUTRAL. IT WAS RANDOMLY THIS WOULD HAPPEN AND BECAME MORE FREQUENT. TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND THEY SAID WE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED SOON. RIGHT BEFORE THIS THEIR WERE ABOUT ANOTHER $3,000 WORTH OF ISSUES WE HAD TO FIX.

KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION FREQUENTLY! IT GETS STUCK AND WILL NOT TURN FAR ENOUGH TO TURN ON AND IT ALSO GETS STUCK WHERE YOU CANNOT TURN IT OFF! I HAVE TO WAIT SEVERAL MINUTES (UP TO 30 MIN) TO TRY AGAIN TO START OR TURN OFF THE CAR. THIS IS A WASTE OF MY TIME AND I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND ANY VW VEHICLE EVER AGAIN!

WITH THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE THE KEY CAN BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION. IT HAS BEEN THIS WAY FOR YEARS. A FEW YEARS AGO THE CAR ROLLED BACK INTO A DRIVEWAY WALL CAUSING SOME DAMAGE AFTER DEPARTING THE CAR.

MY CAR WAS STATIONARY. I PUT MY KEY INTO THE IGNITION TO START THE CAR AND AT FIRST IT WOULDN'T TURN BUT THEN IT DID AND STARTED. DROVE FROM WORK TO HOME AND THEN PUT THE CAR IN PARK. TRIED TO TURN THE CAR OFF BUT THE KEY WOULD NOT TURN. CAR WAS STUCK ON AND RUNNING.

WE HAVE BEEN VICTIMS OF THE WELL KNOWN LONG STANDING IGNITION KEY STUCK ISSUE ON THESE VEHICLES. SHE STALLED THE CAR IN THE INTERSECTION THEN TRIED TO RESTART BUT THE KEY WAS STUCK. FORTUNATELY A COUPLE NICE GUYS HELPED HER PUSH IT OFF THE ROAD AND I WAS LATER ABLE TO GET THE KEY TO TURN AND GET THE CAR HOME. WHEN I GOT THE CAR HOME IT TOOK ME NEARLY 30 MINUTES TO TURN THE CAR OFF. VW HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR SOME TIME BUT THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT. SO I'M SPENDING YET ANOTHER WEEKEND FIXING THIS PIECE OF JUNK. GERMAN ENGINEERING IS JUST ANOTHER WAY TO SAY COLLECTION OF STUPID IDEAS. FOR EXAMPLE THEY TWIST THE HEADS OFF THE BOLTS THAT HOLD THE PROBLEMATIC SWITCH IN DURING MANUFACTURE. NO I'M NOT KIDDING FOLKS.

THE TAIL LIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. DISCOVERED DURING ANNUAL STATE REQUIRED INSPECTION IN SEPTEMBER 2015. I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE REGULARLY ON RURAL, CITY AND HIGHWAY ROADS WITHOUT TAIL AND BRAKE LIGHTS AND WAS UNAWARE. A REPAIR TO THE ELECTRICAL WIRING WAS REQUIRED. ADDTIONALLY, THE TRUNK LATCH WAS ONLY WORKING INTERMITTENTLY PRIOR TO THIS REPAIR. SINCE THE WIRING REPAIR WAS MADE, I HAVE HAD NO ISSUES WITH THE TRUNK RELEASE NOT WORKING. THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DOESN'T LOCK AND UNLOCK WHEN YOU DEPRESS THE KEYFOB OR THE BUTTON IN THE CAR TO LOCK ALL THE DOORS. THIS IS A VERY INFREQUENTLY USED DOOR AND IT IS THE DOOR USED THE LEAST IN THE VEHICLE. DEALER STATES IT IS A BAD DOOR LATCH. I HAVE NOT REPAIRED IT. IT DOESN'T ALWAYS OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE, SOMETIMES I HAVE TO REACH IN AND OPEN IT FROM THE INSIDE TO GET THE DOOR OPEN. ON 01.12.2016 THE CAR RADIO STOPPED WORKING. THE FUSES ARE GOOD AND INTACT. THE BLUETOOTH NO LONGER WORKS SINCE THE RADIO DOESN'T WORK. IT IS COMPLETELY OUT OF SERVICE, NOTHING WORKS ON THE RADIO. I RELIED HEAVILY ON THE BLUETOOTH FOR HANDS FREE PHONE CALLS SINCE THE VEHICLE IS MANUAL TRANSMISSION. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN DISCOVERED. VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 55,000 MILES ON IT.

RADIO IN 2010 JETTA TDI STOPPED WORKING. IT LOOKS LIKE IT HAS NO POWER BUT ALL FUSES CHECK GOOD. THERE IS MANY MANY OF THESE SAME ISSUES WITH THE DELPHI RADIOS IN THE JETTAS IN 2010. FOLLOW THIS LINK TO SEE THE MANY OWNERS THAT HAVE BEEN TURNED AWAY WITH THERE FAULTY RADIOS. THE MAIN SAFETY ISSUES IS THERE IS NO LONGER THE USE OF HANDS FREE CELL PHONE USING THE BLUETOOTH OPTION.

DROVE CAR TO WORK 0630, STEREO WORKED FINE. LEFT WORK AT 1915, WHEN I STARTED MY CAR, THE STEREO DID NOT COME ON, SCREEN WAS BLACK, NO SOUND. THOUGHT MAYBE IT BLEW A FUSE. ON MY WAY HOME, THE STEREO STARTED WORKING AGAIN, JUST POPPED ON. AS I CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT WENT OFF AGAIN, BUT LOUD A RHYTHIMATIC BEAT STARTED THOROUGH OUT EACH OF THE SPEAKERS, SOUNDED LIKE SOMEBODY HITTING A MICROPHONE THAT WAS ON! I ARRIVED AT MY HOUSE SHORTLY AFTER THAT NOISE STARTED (THANKFULLY) AND TURNED OFF MY CAR. REMOVED THE KEYS FROM THE IGNITION BUT THE LOUD NOISE DID NOT STOP!!! I HAD TO OPEN THE HOOD AND PULL OUT SOME FUSES TO GET IT TO STOP! TWO WEEKS AFTER THIS HAPPENED, MY CAR DIED WHEN WAITING IN A DRIVE-THRU. WE HAD TO PUSH MY CAR. MY CAR WOULD CRANK BUT NOT START. NOTHING INSIDE THE CAR WOULD WORK. I CALLED MY HUSBAND, HE OPENED THE HOOD, UNHOOKED A FUSE AND IT STARTED! THE NEXT DAY MY CAR WAS DEAD, HAD TO PUT IT ON A BATTERY CHARGER. I'M AFRAID IF I REPLACE THE STEREO, IT TOO WILL GO OUT AND POSSIBLY SHORT OUT OTHER ELECTRICAL ITEMS IN MY CAR. AS OF NOW, THE STEREO IS IN PLACE BUT UNHOOKED AND MY BATTERY IS FINE. THERE MUST BE A REASON WHY THIS IS HAPPENING TOO SO MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME STEREO.

CAR WORKED FINE THE EVENING BEFORE. STARTED THE CAR WITHOUT INCIDENT THE NEXT DAY AND THE RADIO DIDN'T WORK. THERE WASN'T ANY SCREEN OR NOISE. THE PHONE DIDN'T WORK EITHER. THE FUSES WERE CHECKED AND ALL WERE GOOD. THE RADIO (DELPHI P/N 28252585, VW # 1K0035180 AC), WAS TAKEN OUT AND ALL CONNECTIONS WERE GOOD AND TIGHT AS WELL. THERE ARE DIFFERENT WEBSITES FILLED WITH EXAMPLES OF THIS RADIO FAILURE AND VW RECONSTRUCTING A PROPER UNIT FOR 2012. PLEASE BE PROACTIVE AND SEARCH THE WEB FOR YOURSELF AND AS PART OF DOING YOUR JOB. I SEE NO REASON THIS ISN'T A RECALLED ITEM. PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME AND INCLUDE BOTH YOUR NAME AND TITLE. I AM AWAITING YOUR REPLY. THANX

THE FUSES WERE CHECKED AND ALL WERE GOOD. THE RADIO (DELPHI P/N 28252585, VW # 1K0035180 AC), WAS TAKEN OUT AND ALL CONNECTIONS WERE GOOD AND TIGHT AS WELL. THERE ARE DIFFERENT WEBSITES FILLED WITH EXAMPLES OF THIS RADIO FAILURE AND VW RECONSTRUCTING A PROPER UNIT FOR 2012. PLEASE BE PROACTIVE AND SEARCH THE WEB FOR YOURSELF AND AS PART OF DOING YOUR JOB. I SEE NO REASON THIS ISN'T A RECALLED ITEM. PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME AND INCLUDE BOTH YOUR NAME AND TITLE. I AM AWAITING YOUR REPLY. THANX
I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR SINCE PURCHASING NEW IN OCT 2010 WITH THE DEALER DOING ALL THE MAINTENANCE WORK ON IT. ON 8/30/13 THE RADIO WENT DEAD, DEALER REPLACED AT NO COST TO ME. THIS MORNING 8/17/15 I AGAIN HAVE A DEAD RADIO, SAME AS BEFORE, I CALLED DEALER AND ASKED WHEN THEY REPLACED THE PRIOR ONE AND IT IS ALMOST 2 YEARS TO THE DATE! THIS TIME THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO REPLACE IT (I HAVE NEVER HAD A FACTORY RADIO GO BAD IN ANY CAR I HAVE OWNED IN 30 PLUS YEARS OF DRIVING CARS). I CAN LIVE WITHOUT THE RADIO, BUT I LIKE THE SAFETY OF HAVING THE HANDS FREE BLUETOOTH TO TALK ON THE PHONE. I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT PURCHASING A NEW JETTA FOR MYSELF AND GIVING THIS ONE TO MY TEENAGE SON, BUT I THINK I BETTER UNLOAD THIS ONE IF THE RADIO IS GOING TO KEEP DYING EVERY 2 YEARS. BTW WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR, THE MANAGER OF THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME VW WANTED TO INCREASE ITS MARKET SHARE. HERE'S A HINT VW - YOU WILL NOT INCREASE MARKET SHARE IF YOU WILL NOT STAND BEHIND YOUR WHOLE PRODUCT. YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVE A PROBLEM HERE WITH THIS RADIO UNIT; DO THE RIGHT THING BY REPLACING THE UNITS AS THEY FAIL.

OVER THE PAST 4 YEARS EVERY DOOR ONE BY ONE THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS HAVE FAILED AND NEED TO BE REPLACE. I HAVE RESEARCHED ON-LINE AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON FAILURE FOR VW

I PURCHASED A 2010 VW JETTA JUST OVER A YEAR AGO AT THIS POINT. I LOVED IT AT FIRST, IT'S A CLEAN DIESEL. WITHIN 3-4 MONTHS OF OWNING IT THE STEREO HAS GONE OUT. VW HAS CHOSEN TO IGNORE THIS ISSUE EVEN THOUGH IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE! IT'S DRAINING BATTERIES, CAUSING ELECTRICAL AND FUSE ISSUES WHICH COULD LEAD TO SUBSTANTIALLY MORE DANGEROUS ISSUES IN THE FUTURE. PLEASE HELP THOSE OF US WHO ARE FIGHTING THIS BATTLE. IT'S 100S IF NOT 1000S TO GET FIXED AND IT'S ABSOLUTELY UNREASONABLE.. HTTP://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T36009_DS552583

THE LEFT TURNING SIGNAL BLINKS WHEN USING THE RIGHT TURNING SIGNAL. SOMETIMES NOTHING HAPPENS WHEN USING THE RIGHT TURNING SIGNAL. SOMETIMES THE LEFT TURNING SIGNAL BLINKS A FEW TIMES BEFORE THE RIGHT TURNING SIGNAL BLINKS. THIS IS INTERMITTENT WITH NO INDICATION WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. OFTEN IT WILL OCCUR ON REGULAR BASIS FOR A FEW MONTHS, THEN START WORKING NORMAL AGAIN FOR A FEW MONTHS.

INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION. ENGINE DIED AS IF THE CAR RAN OUT OF FUEL. TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT TURNOVER. IT WOULD ONLY CRANK. ACTED LIKE IT RAN OUT OF FUEL BUT THERE WAS HALF A TANK OF FUEL.

VW 2010 TDI - RADIO DEAD. COMPLETELY WENT BLACK, UNRESPONSIVE. DISCOVERED WRONG FUSE IN LINE WITH RADIO - 15A WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN 10A ACCORDING TO SPEC. THIS OVER TIME CAUSED THE RADIO TO FRY. VW OF A DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND GIVES THE STANDARD REPLY THAT IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. A 5 YEAR OLD VEHILCE, WITH 100K MILES - THE RADIO SHOULD NOT BE FAILING AT THIS AGE, FURTHER, THIS IS A 1000+$ FIX. RIDICULOUS

DSG MECHATRON UNIT FAILURE: VEHICLE HAD MULTIPLE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DISPLAYS. THE LIGHT WOULD COME ON, THEN GO OFF FOR SOME TIME AND THE DEALER KEPT TELLING ME IT WAS PROBABLY A GAS CAP ISSUE. FINALLY AFTER ABOUT 4-8 TIMES OF THIS HAPPENING I ADVISED THE DEALER I WAS BRINING IT IN TO GET LOOKED AT. DROPPED THE VEHICLE OFF ON SEPT 8TH AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THE PART WILL COME IN. HAVE SAID IT MAY BE NOVEMBER 7TH, BUT THAT IS NOT GUARANTEED. THIS VEHICLE HAD CHANGED GEARS WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND ALMOST MADE IT UNCONTROLLABLE FOR HER AND IT IS NOT SAFE. *TT

VEHICLE STUMBLES USUALLY WITHIN THE FIRST COUPLE OF MILES OF TRAVEL AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE. USUALLY OCCURS DURING MILD ACCELERATION AND AROUND 30-45 MPH. VEHICLE DOES THIS VERY OFTEN. I HAVE READ MUCH ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ON LINE AND HAVE BEEN WAITING TO HEAR ABOUT A FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. SOUNDS LIKE VW HAS STILL NOT OFFERED UP A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM AFTER MANY MONTHS SO I NOW WISH TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT. I HAD CONVERSATION WITH VW IN WHICH I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A DIESEL "PERSONALITY TRAIT". WELL I BELIEVE THIS PERSONALITY TRAIT MAY ALSO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR SEVERAL OCCASIONS OF STALLING OF THE VEHICLE WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A START. THE SO CALLED PERSONALITY TRAIT CAN OCCUR WHEN YOU ARE ENGAGING THE CLUTCH FROM A STANDING STILL POSITION. IF THIS HAPPENS IT CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO STALL. THIS IS NOT SAFE. IF TRUE HOWEVER I HAVE NO WAY TO PROVE IT. THE ONLY PROOF THAT IS REPEATABLE IS THE STUMBLING ISSUE.

I HAVE EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS STALLS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION. IT IS USUALLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS WARMED UP AND OFTEN WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE IS OVER 80 F. *TT

1. THE HORN IS HARD TO PRESS, AND SLOW TO REACT. A FEW TIMES I NEEDED TO USE FOR SAFETY AND ALMOST WAS INVOLVED IN ACCIDENT AS HORN DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. 2. WHEN PRESSING THE HORN, ONE HAS TO PUT MORE THAN ADEQUATE PRESSURE. ONCE IT IS PRESSED, THERE IS A DELAY OF ABOUT A SECOND BEFORE THE HORN BLOWS. IT OCCURS EVERY TIME IT'S PRESSED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE HORN IS A GOOD TOOL TO ALERT OTHER DRIVERS TO PREVENT COLLISION. 3. DEALER SAYS IT IS A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC OF VEHICLE.
