Almost a month ago now, Joanne reported that the horn in our long-term Hyundai Veracruz wasn't working. We changed the fuse and were back in honking business, that is, until this weekend, when the horn went MIA again. We're starting to think that this isn't a fuse issue anymore. Sounds like it's time for a dealer visit...
Stay tuned.
Before I took the keys to the Veracruz for the weekend, Vehicle Testing Coordinator Mike Schmidt warned me that the front passenger door was being temperamental and not always opening when asked to do so. I kept an eye out for that, but the door opened for me every time I tried it over the weekend. Maybe these horn and front passenger door issues are being caused by a gremlin who doesn't multi-task well.

Yes because if the horn stops working the accelerator will stick

Just buy a megaphone for when the horn isn't working. "Excuse me, sir. I would like to express my displeasure at your poor driving skills."

You need to upgrade to a dual gremlin system.

I saw a sign in Key West last year that said: "Horn Broke -- Watch for Finger"
