  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Hi All,
I own a 2022 GV80 Prestige. I'm now on horn #6. Multiple replacements of both horns, then low tone, then high tone and it goes on and on. At some point it took them weeks to get me a new horn so I know others were also affected (based on the backlog of orders for a horn). Had some close calls where I needed the horn and it wouldn't activate and other times where one of two was not working and it gave such a wimpy sound that it didn't help to warn other drivers. Dealer service rep told me its a very common problem. I've tried working with genesis corporate but it seems their stance is to keep repairing it till it's out of warranty instead of investigating it and resolving the underlying issue.
Anyone with similar experience?
Has your dealer found a fix that works long term?
Have you filed an NHTSA complaint? (I just did so as its a legitimate safety issue. All cars on the road are required to have a working horn to pass inspection. Quite frankly, it's required for defensive driving with all the idiots on the road.)

I would have voted but you do not have a zero option. I have a 21 GV80 that I got new and I have had not horn issues.
I hope your get it worked out.
Added the option to vote for zero

When one side fails, it sounds very weak. There are a lot of threads on the forum about wimpy horn/weak horn and owners looking to replace the horn... I think all of these are actually people who have one horn that's blown and don't realize it.
