2023 June Model Y horn not working after heavy rain

[Monica_Y]

The first time the volume of the horn became lower after I passed through puddles. I am so confused with what happened? The second time the horn even lost sound when I was driving in heavy rain. Does anyone meet the problem? I was told TESLA took off one horn from the upper side and only left one on the lower side. It causes danger when driving on rainy days. I hope TEASLA can set the upper side horn back on MY.

I also have a 2023 Model Y. No problems with the horn rain or shine. We haven't gotten a lot of rain in southern Colorado lately, though.

I hope yours is an isolated incident.

Had the same issue after heavy rains. A construction machine was about to reverse into my car and I just couldn't honk and warn the worker.

Took my car to the service and they said it is normal after heavy rains. Water got inside the horn and it didn't work. It turned back to normal when it is dried. So no honking when it rains

That should not be normal after it rains. I wonder if that is a safety issue that would rise to the level of a complaint with the NHTSA?

I’m not living in the USA, so can’t complain to NHTSA but yeah I also think it is a safety issue and shouldn’t happen and normalized.

Bad design if it doesn't work in the rain.

Happened to me while still under warranty. Mobile tech came out and replaced the horn in my driveway. He set the old horn aside and I picked it up and turned it over- and a couple of tablespoons of water poured out.

Jeeze, gotta be a better way.
