Wondering if anyone had this problem before. So, my car is 3 weeks old now.
A few minutes after I get on the road and accelerate to about 40mph on a city road and hit the brakes, the car honks automatically(usually its 1 honks, but I think I heard 2 honks one time). Since I have never heard this on the freeways, I always thought it was someone else honking on the city roads. But I just heard it again and I am sure it is my car. This has happened about 4 times already in the past 3 weeks.
I am going to take it to the dealer this weekend, but just out of curiosity can anyone come up with a logical reason as to why this is happening.

Hmmm, never heard of this problem before.

Did you overflow the horn fluid tank?

Take it to the dealer. I've never heard of that. Maybe a loose wire/connection in the steering wheel?

Maybe it saw a good-looking babe walking on the side of the road. It is a smart car!

Thats pretty damn funny!!! I just find that my horn is VERY sensitive -- on more than one occasion I have honked at my coworkers when I get to work in the morning -- the slightest brush of my bag against the wheel sets the horn off!!

Old school Navigation System?

1 honk = left turn
2 honks=Right turn



Agree with kenny, probably a loose wire

Haha -- pretty funny stuff. The horn in my new 06 is hypersensitive -- but it doesn't honk on its own!!

I've noticed this too...When I was cleaning the interior a last week, my neighbor actually came out to see if everything was alright, as in trying to clean it and bump it, I honked like 5 times in 2 minutes...

take out the horn fuse, easier to clean
