Just recently purchased a 2019 Ford Explorer limited. While driving on the freeway and almost nearly being side swiped by a big rig who apparently did not see me or hear my horn. I then pulled over nearest exit and pressed my horn to hear that it was low sounding. I thought maybe it was defective or a recall on horns. I searched online to find out that Ford has only installed 1 horn for this year model. Not sure if its to be cheap or by mistake, but I have read many reviews that there's only 1 horn installed when all previous years have 2 horns installed. There also has been videos made on youtube regarding concerns of these 2019 Ford Explorer. I truly believe this is a big safety issue.

The 2019 Ford Explorer is delivered new with one inadequate horn. All other model years have two horns and are what you expect from a horn. This is a dangerous situation, the horn is so low I could not scare a squirrel. Ford Motor Company said they cannot upgrade. The Ford dealer said they cannot upgrade without effecting the warranty.
