 Vehicle horn does not respond promptly to actuation, typically has about a 1 second delay, which makes it unsuitable for sounding a warning in abrupt lane change situations. dealer states this is normal, and i have verified that other vw golf/jettas of the 2010 and 2011 model years respond the same. this is a totally repeatable issue.
