HORN STOPPED WORKING WHEN STEERING WHEEL IN STRAIGHT POSITION. WHEN STEERING WHEEL IS MOVED TO THE RIGHT THE HORN WORKS. WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS MOVED TO THE LEFT , THE HORN WORKS IN CERTAIN POSITIONS BUT IS NOT CONSISTENT. THIS CREATES A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT YOU CANNOT USE THE HORN TO WARN OTHER CARS OR PEDESTRIANS. NOTICED THE HORN ISSUES IN THE BEGGING OF NOVEMBER 2017. NOT SURE HOW LONG THE HORN WAS BROKEN BEFORE THAT.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2013 Lexus Ct200h verdict →
