Most all those issues are either dealer or installer generated. the dealer does the tires and the installer most all the prep, especially ops checking the function of all components. While the horn may not have been connected at the factory, it wasn't stated either way, it should never have gotten to the point of delivery(you) with that. I can't speak for the current procedures, but at one time if something was amiss and it is brought to the attention of the dealership/factory, it is/was dealt with as it should be.
Now, as far as the speedo cable...I found on the Coupe that the inner cable was just a bit too long. I remedied the jumping by just releasing the tension on the the speedo end of the cable. At some point I will likely remove it and cut a small bit off, but 6 years and 12,000+ miles it is still working fine and the cable nut hasn't backed off any. That would fall into a factory problem,much the same as the Coupe wiper problems I engineered out. Not sure on the speedo,but the wiper issue is a direct result of modifying a production piece from an existing car, something that is common among small bulders.
