My car shut down completely as I was driving, the steering wasn't working, I couldn't turn the wheels at all. The breaks would not work either, no matter how hard I pressed on the breaks the pedal would not move. Luckily I wasn't going fast or driving on the highway cause that would have killed me.

Electrical System · at 135,000 miles · reported Aug 29, 2018

This was while I was driving down the interstate. I pulled off the road and turned the car off. The horn still blew. I opened up the engine compartment and tapped the fuse box/relays and the horn stopped. I've read online that multiple others have had this issue and I would like the NHTSA to investigate.
