Horn Assembly problems of the 2011 Jeep Compass

Horn dose not work, but believe it goes deeper than just horn issue. I have seen a trend with these vehicles thru numerous sources such as internet forums ect. Being that the horn can be considered a safety feature. I think the root of the problem is a computer, electrical or a fuse box issue. Took vehicle to Jeep dealer yesterday to get fixed, called later that day to pick up vehicle said it was fixed, got home horn did not work.
