2 Horn Assembly problem

Failure Date: 03/27/2019

Intermittent horn. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. In doing research, I have noticed a lot of complaints for the same thing. Why has this not been recalled? this is clearly a safety issue! doesn't matter if the car is sitting, driving, turning, anything. The horn only seems to work when it feels like it. Very dangerous!.
