The honk / spiral cable is defective - only noticed it in 2015 (brought to the dealer) but never used the honk before that - could have been earlier... it only works when the steering wheel is completely turned to one side. Since car has never been involved in accident, this is a manufacture defect and not wear and tear - Toyota should cover it - I see they have on other models - I came close to 2 serious accidents when I was unable to warn distracted drivers - the cost is high and this is why I did not not get it fixed in 2015 when I first noticed it (the car was only 4 years old) -
