1 Horn Assembly problem

Failure Date: 02/16/2009

Roughly a month ago from today ie December 2008; the horn on my car sounded different but then was fine, time had passed and it got worse and crackled. I took the car into the local dealer for repair this morning and had asked if this could be considered under warranty eventhough I am 3,000 miles over the std warranty with the 5% extension from Honda, the car is 3 days shy of 3 years old, they said no. The problem was the right horn broke, the left worked fine. It was about $120 for diag, parts, and labor which I had to do but am asking Honda to consider this to be covered since a 3 year old car should not have something basic break so soon, clearly it was a defective part. This is a safety concern especially with a 4 month baby I transport daily in this car.
