Has anybody ever honked their horn, only to find out that the horn is actually stuck for a good 10 seconds untill you can get it lose? It happened to me the other day driving on main street, this guy swerved over near my side so I just wanted to honk the horn quickly and it got stuck for a good 15 seconds.

 

Yes, I'ved read about it on here before. And It happened to me the first time I hit my horn quickly. That also then cracked my airbag cover a bit...and that has been replaced. =/

 

the guy you were beeping at must have thought you were a real asshole deliberately holding down the horn at him... i think its pretty funny man...

 

I have no problems with my horn releasing as soon as I quit depressing the cover.

 

LOL! I use my horn daily and never had this problem. When you have to go through Houston traffic, you have to regulate.

 

I saw the "cracked cover" issue on the forum shortly after I got my TL in August 2004, so I have always used the very bottom of the horn button since then!

Never had a problem with it getting "stuck."

 

I honk my horn when I'm driving past hot chicks so they see me in my spiffy TL.

 

lol. I've done the same after seeing that post as well. I haven't had an issue with the horn getting stuck yet!

 

I've had it happen to me. The traffic ahead of me was all stopped with everyone waiting to make a left turn at a stop sign. All traffic to the left was stopped because of a stuck train. So I check for cops and pull into the opposite lane (safely of course) since I am only behind 3 vehicles, so I can make a right and be on my way. Well as I am about to turn right in front of a dump truck stopped at the corner I go to give him two honks as a warning that I am coming through and a thank you. Well the horn got stuck, so now the truck driver thinks I am some a**hole who thinks he's entitled to blast his way through and starts pulling out to block me.

It was very embrassing. I put my hand up as if saying I am sorry but for the life of me could not figure out a hand gesture to show him that my horn was stuck.

Put BOTH hands up

 

Had the same thing happen just about two weeks ago. Freaks you out doesnt it.....panicing trying to get it to shut off!

 

exactly

 

SAME HERE! First time I ever used the horn, I wanted to lay on it real good because I was turning left, and someone did the classic turn left around me because I wasn't quick enough for them. I originally thought that it was the other guy laying on his horn back at me, until I got on the side street and realized it was ME! I kept pounding on it until it stopped. Probably about 15 seconds, but seemed like an eternity. I tried it (all alone) later, and hasn't recurred.
