Accent

  • 41,000 miles
I injured my left thumb trying to honk the horn on my 2005 Hyundai Accent. This injury required surgery. I feel the horn button has a design defect: It takes up a very small portion at the middle of the steering wheel. If you don't press on that specific area your fingers impact a hard, unyielding surface. I feel this is a design defect that can cause finger and hand injuries. I feel your administration needed to be notified to prevent further injuries.
