About 3 weeks ago my horn just stopped working, and it's never worked since.

I'm finally going to get it fixed and while it's there will also get the 4 speed re-programming done.

So what about everyone here, any problems with the horn?

My horn never worked to begin with hahaha
my car came with a defective one

Did it ever work, or was it just dead from the day you bought it?

Car is at a Kia dealership right now, they looked at everything and to my surprise(!) they said it's pretty common so they keep horns in stock for replacement.

They also said they will re-flash the transmission ECU for the hesitation in 3rd gear and going to look at the check engine codes I have been getting.

So far the verdict is: Best warranty and dealership service I've gotten in years!

So they fixed everything and the car is perfect now. Turns out the check engine light was fixed by an engine ECU re-flash, so anyone getting those might want to bring it in for the newest ECU version.

Do we all need a trans re-flash for the hesitation? I have not really noticed it in mine but Ive only had it one week.

All 4 speed automatic 2010 models produced between November 2009 and I think April 2010.

I know this is a dumb question, but where do you see when your car was produced? I just bought mine, 2010 but have no idea when it was made.

In the driver's door jam there is a sticker with your manufacture date. It looks like "09/09" or whatever the date was.

So is this covered under waranty or am I gonna pay out the ying-yang?

Covered under warranty.
