2006 Chrysler Sebring Conv

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ANTI-THEFT ALARM WOULD CONSTANTLY SOUND AND COULD NOT BE RESET. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED WHO ADVISED THAT IF THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, IT WOULD BE AT THE OWNERS EXPENSE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,500.

THE HORN BEGIN BLOWING INTERMITTENTLY WHENEVER THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED, THEN WHENEVER THERE WAS A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THEN WHILE IN THE GARAGE. BANGING ON THE STEERING WHEEL SOMETIMES STOPPED IT. LOCAL MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS THE HORN CONTACTS THAT ARE PART OF THE AIRBAG IN THE STEERING WHEEL. REPLACEMENT COST QUOTED AS $998. ON SEARCHING THE INTERNET, I FIND MANY REPORTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM. CHRYSLER SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM AND REFUND THE COST TO ANY WHO HAVE PAID TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

SEVERAL TIMES MY HORN CAME ON AND HONKED CONTINUALLY. IT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS DRIVING AS WELL AS WHEN MY CAR WAS JUST SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY. I ALMOST GOT A TICKET FROM THE LOCAL POLICE ONE DAY BECAUSE OF IT. IT HAPPENED WHEN I HIT THE BUTTON ON THE REMOTE TO UNLOCK THE CAR DOOR, OR FOR NO REASON AT ALL... WHEN I WAS DRIVING, I HAD TO PUSH DOWN HARD ON THE CENTER OF THE STEERING WHEEL AS I STEERED WITH THE OTHER HAND. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE CAR DEALER, I WAS TOLD IT WAS CAUSED BY A "CLOCK SWITCH" THAT CONTROLS THE HORN AND THE AIR BAG. IT WOULD COST OVER $600 JUST FOR THE PART. IT WILL BE AROUND $1100 WITH LABOR. SINCE I DON'T HAVE THAT MUCH MONEY TO SPARE, MY THEY TOLD ME TO PULL THE HORN RELAY FUSE OUT. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN SAID DOING THAT WOULD STOP THE HORN, BUT ALSO PREVENT THE AIR BAG FROM DEPLOYING. SO NOW I AM DRIVING WITHOUT A HORN OR AN AIR BAG, A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD, ESPECIALLY WHEN MY WIFE AND CHILDREN MUST RIDE IN OUR CAR. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER TO LODGE A COMPLAINT & THEY WERE VERY RUDE TO ME & THE REP TOLD ME TO DO WHATEVER AS THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A COMPLAINT, EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF GTC OWNERS THAT ARE COMPLAINING ALL OVER THE INTERNET OF THE EXACT SAME ISSUES!!! IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT I HAVE TO SACRIFICE MY FAMILY'S SAFETY DUE TO NO SUPPORT FROM CHRYSLER. I COULD UNDERSTAND IF IT WAS A PART THAT WEARS OUT , OR COULD BE BROKEN BY NEGLIGENCE, BUT IT'S NOT!! I INFORMED THEM THAT I WILL REGISTER A COMPLAINT WITH YOU.

THE HORN ON MY 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE RANDOMLY GOES OFF WHEN THE VEHICLE IS FIRST STARTED AND WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN. THIS CAUSES A SAFETY ISSUE BY DISTRACTING THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE AND DRIVERS OF OTHER VEHICLES. THIS IS CAUSED BY A PROBLEM WHERE THE COMPANY LOGO THAT IS MOUNTED ON THE STEERING WHEEL NTERFERES WITH THE HORN PAD IN THE STERRING COLUMN. *TT

2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE APPROX 45,000 MILES FOR NO REASON HORN GOES OFF AND WILL NOT STOP BLOWING. ONLY WAY STOP THE HORN IS BY REMOVING THE FUSE WHICH DEACTIVATES THE AIRBAG AS WELL AS THE HORN. TO STOP MY HORN I HAVE TO DRIVE WITHOUT AN AIRBAG. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE CHRYSLER DEALER WHO SAYS WARRANTY IS UP AND IT WILL COST UP TO $1000 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE HORNPAD AND AIRBAG. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF OTHER SEBRING OWNERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND CANNOT BELIEVE A SAFETY RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED. *TR

2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE. HORN GOES OFF INTERMITTENTLY FOR NOT REASON AND NOTHING WILL STOP IT. HORN DOESN'T WORK WHEN I NEED IT. CALLED CHRYSLER. NO HELP AT ALL. TOLD THEM THAT IT'S CLEARLY AN ENGINEERING PROBLEM AND THAT THEY SHOULD CHECK ONLINE TO SEE THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS. THE (VICE PRESIDENT) REFUSED TO LISTEN TO ME, DENIED THERE WAS A PROBLEM AND TOLD ME I WAS ON MY OWN. HOW DO YOU START THE RECALL PROCESS? THERE IS NO FIX FOR IT. *TR

2006 SEBRING CONVERTIBLE IN 2007 FUSES BLEW TOP STUCK HALF OPEN. BEGINNING MID 2010 FUSES KEEP BLOWING, STARTER FUSES KEEP BLOWING, DASH LIGHTS GO BRIGHT THEN DIM, AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY, I DON'T KNOW IF IT WILL DEPLOY IF NEEDED. HEATER GETS WARM AND THEN GOES COLD FOR NO REASON THEN WARM AGAIN. IT WON'T START AT ALL NOW EVEN WITH A JUMP. SPEND HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS NEW BATTERY, CHECKED ALTERNATOR, IT STILL WON'T START. TOWING IT TO ELECTRICAL TOMORROW THIS CAR IS NOT THAT OLD. *TR

HORN KEEPS GOING OFF BY IT SELF. I HAVE CHECKED OTHER WEB SITES AND THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE SEBRING WHY ISN'T THIS ON RECALL? I HAVE BEEN CUT OFF ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHERE A HORN WAS NEEDED I WAS RAN OFF THE ROAD SEVERAL TIMES DO TO THE OTHER DRIVER NOT LOOKING IN BLIND SPOTS WHERE AS IF I HAD A HORN I COULD HAVE USED IT INSTEAD OF BEING RAN OFF THE ROAD. *TR
