Pull the Wheel = Blow the Horn!

[rwanttaja]

Discovered something tonight. If I pull on the steering wheel just above the left-side spoke (e.g, where the bulge is) the horn sounds!

I've had some odd horn-blowings as I've gotten out of the car over the past several months, but attributed them to hitting the horn button with my elbow on the way out. When it went off again tonight, though, I knew I had been no where near the horn button. A bit of experimentation, and I was going "toot-toot" just by tugging on the wheel by the left-hand grip.

It seemed more willing to do with with the wheel in the centered positon to the 90-degree right turn position.

Anyone else notice this? I'll probably talk to the dealer about it on my next TPMS reset.

Never happened to me

After reading your post, I was curious to test it on my V. There was no horn sound or movement. It guess it is something that the dealer needs to resolve. Good luck!

Even worse, it turns out the problem is intermittent. I went for a drive today, and when I shut down, it wouldn't do it. Went for a second drive, shut down, and it did.

Gonna be fun trying to track THIS one down....
