2006 Chrysler Sebring Conv

WHILE EXITING THE DRIVEWAY, THE HORN JUST RANDOMLY BEGAN GOING OFF AND WOULD NOT STOP. NOTHING WE DID WOULD STOP IT. WE TURNED OFF THE CAR, AND BEGAN PULLING ALL FUSES AND RELAYS ASSOCIATED WITH THE HORN UNTIL IT STOPPED. WHEN WE PUT THE RELAY BACK IN, THE HORN WENT OFF AGAIN. THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP THE HORN OFF, IS TO PULL THE RELAY- OTHERWISE IT BLOWS 24/7. WE REPLACE THE RELAY WITH A NEW ONE; SAME THING- HORN BLOWING 24/7. SO NOW I AM DRIVING AROUND WITHOUT A HORN, WHICH IS A VERY DANGEROUS THING TO BE DOING. NOT TO MENTION I CAN NOT PASS A SAFETY INSPECTION WITHOUT IT. BASED ON OUR RESEARCH, THE ONLY WAY TO FIX IT, IS TO REPLACE THE "GUTS" UNDER THE AIR BAG, WHICH MEANS REPLACING THE AIR BAG AS WELL. HOW IS THIS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE? CHRYSLER SHOULD BE ISSUING A RECALL FOR THIS!!!! *TR

HORN/AIR BAG MODULE BROKEN. HORN GOES OFF RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING, PARKING OR UNLOCKING/LOCKING THE DOORS. I DROVE INTO A GARAGE ON THE WAY TO WORK AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS THE HORN/AIRBAG MODULE WAS BROKEN. THE ESTIMATE WAS $1100; HOWEVER, I OPTED FOR THE LESS EXPENSIVE, UNSAFE REMEDY AND JUST HAD HIM DISCONNECT THE HORN. (BIG SAFETY HAZARD). THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THIS AND IM CURIOUS WHY THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. ITS CLEARLY A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, I SCARED AN ELDERLY DRIVER THIS MORNING, MY HORN WAS BLOWING NON-STOP AND SHE FROZE IN THE INTERSECTION. VERY UNSAFE! *TR

WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT WHEN HORN WENT OFF BY ITSELF. DRIVER IN FRONT OF ME YELLED BACK AT ME IN ANGER ASKING WHAT IS MY PROBLEM. TOLD HER MY HORN JUST WENT OFF AND I CANT TURN IT OFF. FINALLY AFTER HITTING THE HORN PAD A NUMBER OF TIMES IT STOPPED. ANOTHER TIME I BEEPED THE HORN IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE AND THE HORN WOULDN'T STOP. COUPLE DAYS AGO I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET WHEN THE HORN WENT OFF AND I HAD A HARD TIME GETTING IT TO STOP. NOW THE HORN WILL NOT WORK WHEN PUSHING THE HORN PAD. *TR

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM THE MOVIES THE HORN STARTED TO BLOW ON IT'S OWN ACCORD. SINCE THAT INCIDENT IT HAS DONE THIS THREE TIME. I HAVE TO PULL UP ON THE AIR BAG COVER ON THE STEERING WHEEL HOUSING TO STOP IT. THIS MORNING IT STARTED GOING OFF AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE ADVISED I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR SINCE IT IS HOUSED WITH THE AIR BAG. MY MECHANIC DID UNHOOK THE HORN FOR ME WHICH IS A BIG SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE READ THAT THIS ALSO DISENGAGES THE AIR BAG. *JB

AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE DRIVING THE HORN BLOWS AND STAYS ON LIKE IT'S STUCK , IT WILL DO IT AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE PARKED OR LOCKING AND UNLOCKING THE DOORS . SOMETIMES YOU CAN BEAT ON THE CENTER OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT WILL GO OFF LIKE THEIR IS A SHORT IN THE ELECTRICAL WIRING OF THE HORN BUTTON . THE ONLY WAY TO DRIVE THE CAR OR KEEP THE BATTERY FROM DRAINING IS TO PULL THE HORN RELAY OUT OF THE FUSE BLOCK AND THEN YOU DON'T HAVE THE SAFETY OF THE AIR BAGS . IN MOST STATES THE HORN MUST WORK IN ORDER TO PASS A VEHICLE INSPECTION . I ALSO PHONED THE CHRYSLER CORP. TO LET THEM KNOW OF THIS ON GOING UNSAFE ISSUE THAT SO MANY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS ARE LIVING WITH AND THEY SAID THEIR WERE NO RECALLS AT THIS TIME . THERE HAS PROBABLY ALREADY BEEN MANY ACCIDENTS AND FATALITIES FROM THIS HIDDEN FAILURE . HORN BLOWING AT THE WRONG TIME OR NO HORN AT THE RIGHT TIME AND NO AIR BAGS TO PROTECT YOU AT THAT TIME ....... *JS

I PURCHASED MY SEBRING IN MAY OF 2007 & THE REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER CONTACT KEEPS BREAKING OFF FROM THE WINDOW AND THEREFORE DOESN'T HEAT THE REAR WINDOW FOR ICE REMOVAL. I DON'T REMEMBER EXACTLY WHEN THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS BUT IT WAS WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR OF PURCHASE. IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED 3 TIMES BY EITHER SOLDER OR GLUE. THIS WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. ON THE 3RD REPAIR MY REAR WINDOW SHATTERED ON 12/24/10 (I MIGHT ADD IT WAS SNOWING!). I CONTACTED MY INSURANCE COMPANY & WAS ADVISED TO BRING THE CAR TO A CAR REPAIR FACILITY (WHO MY INSURANCE COMPANY DEALS WITH) WHO SPECIALIZED IN THE REPAIRING OF CONVERTIBLE TOPS. A NEW REAR WINDOW WAS ORDERED & THE REPLACED. AGAIN! THE CONTACT HAS BROKEN OFF FROM THE WINDOW & AGAIN! I AM LEFT WITHOUT A WORKING REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER! I FIND THIS TO BE A SOMEWHAT DANGEROUS SITUATION AS CONVERTIBLE TOPS LACK A FULL REAR VIEW & HAVING NO WAY OF DEFOGGING MY REAR WINDOW LEAVES ME AT A DISADVANTAGE. THE PROBLEM TO ME, SEEMS TO BE THAT THE ELECTRICAL WIRING FROM CONTACT TO WINDOW IS TOO SHORT & THEREFORE BREAKS FROM THE CONTACT. I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OTHER SEBRING CONV. OWNERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM AS I HAVE NOT SEEN THIS ON ANY PROBLEM REPORTS BUT I CAN TELL YOU THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING & I WOULD LOVE THE CHRYSLER COMPANY TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD GO THROUGH MY INSURANCE COMPANY FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF A NEW REAR WINDOW AS THIS IS AN INCONVENIENCE. *TR
