Sportage

I was almost involved in an accident, because the horn of this vehicle is very low and there should be a recall> I was reading online and there are many other similar cases, where people just can't hear the horn. By the California law, the horn has to be heard by a minimum distance, I have not tested, but I don't think the horn in this car meets specifications. Very dangerous. I spoke to the dealer and they say the horn 'volume' is normal.
