I've been through 4 horn replacements in less 2 years. Don't be surprised if it happens again. They will keep installing the same defective designed horn. O would report it yo your local Transportation Authority as it is a safety issue.

I haven't heard of the airbag issue on forums.

 

In 26k miles I had never had to honk the horn. I used it the other day and I'm not sure if it's broken or if it's supposed to sound pathetic. It was embarrassingly cheap and weak sounding. Are these things able to be changed out to a better wounding one?!

 

There are 2 horns that make up the sound; a low frequency and a high frequency horn. Its likely the low frequency horn went kaput. and that's why it sound "cheap". There are many 3rd party horns available but it will be your cost and installation, dealer will not install aftermarket products but they will replace current horns for free under warranty.

 

Nice, are they just 12v horns?

 

Yes, 12V

 

My dealer replaced both warranteed, one failed, horns with my non-hyundai horns. They had me sign a disclaimer, whining warning about how they (the horns) could void my electrical system warranty if Hyundai said they caused such a a failure. No charge for the labor, though.

 

The factory horns are cr@p. They are replaced by the dealer with the same cr@p. Rinse and repeat.
