Horn failure. This is not the first occasion of this event. The interstate traffic was at stopped due to a wreck and a semi truck attempted to make a lane change. I attempted to signal that the lane was occupied by blowing the car horn and after pressing on the horn logo in the center of the steering wheel nothing happened. I tried multiple times and still nothing. Luckily the driver of the semi finally looked and stopped before pushing my car into the center concrete divider. It is a very frustrating feeling to see an impending cash and to have no means to alert other drivers.
The horn can only be sounded in a certain small area on the steering wheel, it has to be forcefully compressed with the heel of the hand for it to sound. Nlm.
