2006 Chrysler Sebring Conv

FAILURE OF HORN. VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN AT 45MPH. THE HORN STARTED OPERATING WITH OUT ANY INPUT FROM DRIVER. THE DRIVER COULD NOT TURN OFF HORN. DRIVER PULLED THE VEHICLE ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND TURNED OFF IGNITION. THE HORN STOPPED OPERATING. AS SOON AS IGNITION WAS TURNED ON, THE HORN BEGAN TO SOUND ONCE AGAIN. DRIVER TURNED OFF IGNITION AND REMOVED THE FUSE FOR THE HORN. DRIVER CONTINUED ON WITH THE HORN DISABLED. CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SAID THE CLOCK SPRING AND/OR HORN CONTACTS UNDER STEERING WHEEL COVER WERE THE PROBLEM. *TR

2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING HORN-APPARENTLY THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. MINE WILL NOT WORK WHEN I NEED IT, BUT IT WILL GO OFF ABOUT ONCE VERY 3 DAYS. I HAVE GIVEN SENIOR CITIZENS VIRTUAL HEART ATTACKS, SCARED OTHER DRIVERS TO DEATH, AND THEN JUST MAD PEOPLE MAD SINCE THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY I WOULD JUST LAY ON MY HORN FOR 1 SOLID MINUTE FOR NO REASON. *TR

2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE THE PANIC ALARM GOES OFF IN THE CAR IN THE MORNINGS WITHOUT BEING PUSHED. IT USUALLY HAPPENS IN THE EARLY MORNINGS AND WHEN IT IS VERY COLD OUTSIDE. ON AVERAGE MAYBE 4-8 TIMES A YEAR. SO FAR I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND NOTICED THAT SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. IN MY OPINION THIS NEEDS TO BE REVIEWED IN LIGHT OF THIS AFFECTING 100'S OF PEOPLE. PLEASE REVIEW THIS FOR POSSIBLE RECALL. I UNDERSTAND FROM SOME CONSUMERS ON A BLOG THAT THERE IS A DEFECT WITH THE AIR BAG AND THE PROXIMITY TO THE HORN. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE MECHANICS ASPECT BUT KNOW THIS IS NOT A NORMAL OCCURRENCE OR ROUTINE WEAR AND TEAR. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPAIRED BY CHRYSLER AND NOT THE CONSUMER. THIS IS NOT A SMALL EXPENSE IT AVERAGES ABOUT $800 DOLLARS TO BE REPAIRED. I APPRECIATE YOUR REVIEW AND CONSIDERATION. THANK YOU *TR

THE HORN ON MY 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE NO LONGER WORKS WHEN I PUSH THE HORN MANUALLY, BUT IT DOES BLOW WHEN IT WANTS TO, WITHOUT ANYONE TOUCHING IT. IT BLOWS WHEN IT IS PARKED IN THE GARAGE AT HOME, WHEN I AM WALKING INTO WORK, WHEN I AM SITTING AT A RED-LIGHT BEHIND SOMEONE, AND WHEN I AM JUST RIDING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THAT IS THE FIRST PROBLEM. THE SECOND PROBLEM IS THAT SINCE MY HORN DECIDED TO DEVELOP A MIND OF ITS OWN, IT HAS TAKEN OVER THE REST OF THE CONTROLS LOCATED ON THE STEERING WHEEL. THE RADIO CONTROLS NO LONGER WORK, AND THE CRUISE CONTROLS WORK INTERMITTENTLY. OF COURSE IT WORKED FINE WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. IT WAITED FOR THE WARRANTY TO RUN OUT FOR THESE PROBLEMS TO OCCUR. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE HORN TO STOP BLOWING IS TO BEAT ON THE STEERING WHEEL. SO....HERE IS A SCENARIO FOR YOU.....I'M RIDING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, MY HORN STARTS BLOWING BY ITSELF, I START BEATING ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO GET IT TO STOP, AND THE AIRBAG GOES OFF CAUSING ME TO WRECK (AND PROBABLY OTHER PEOPLE TOO).....I SUE YOUR COMPANY FOR NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM TO BEGIN WITH..... WHO DO YOU THINK WILL WIN THIS WHEN THERE ARE 100'S OF OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM THAT I AM HAVING? IT IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS HAZARD, AND IT PUTS THE AIRBAG MODULE AT FAULT. LIVES ARE AT RISK HERE AND YOU NEED TO RECALL THESE CARS AND FIX THE PROBLEM!!!!! *TR

THIS IS THE DATE OF THE LAST INCIDENT, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN AT LEAST 5 OTHER INCIDENTS BEFORE THIS. I OWN A 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE. MY HORN GOES OFF FOR NO REASON, A LONG (ABOUT 30 SECONDS AT A TIME) UNINTERRUPTED BEEP WHILE I'M DRIVING AND ALSO WHILE THE CAR IS PARKED AND OFF. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME. I RESEARCHED IT ON THE INTERNET AND APPARENTLY A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS ISSUE WITH 2005 AND 2006 CONVERTIBLES BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE AIRBAG HITS THE HORN. BECAUSE OF THIS, THE AIRBAG LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF CONSTANTLY. CHRYSLER DOES NOT COVER THIS DEFECT, AND IT IS A COSTLY REPAIR, FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD. NOT RECALLING THIS CAR PART IS CAUSING HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE TO REMOVE THEIR HORN FUSE, WHICH IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE ALSO. *TR

MY HORN WILL GO OFF ALL BY ITSELF AND I HAVE TO POUND THE STEERING WHEEL TO MAKE IT STOP. THERE ISN'T ANY CONSISTENCY TO WHEN IT WILL GO OFF. IT'LL SOUND WITH OR WITHOUT THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION, TODAY IT WENT OFF WHEN I PUT THE KEY INTO THE DOORLOCK. IT ALSO DOESN'T WORK WHEN I NEED IT TO. IF I HIT THE HORN, NOTHING WILL HAPPEN UNTIL A COUPLE SECONDS LATER, AND THEN IT WON'T STOP. I'VE HAD 2 CLOSE CALLS WITH A VEHICLE COMING INTO MY LANE AND NOT BEING ABLE TO WARN THEM BY HONKING. ONE OF THOSE TIMES WAS AT 75MPH ON THE FREEWAY. IF I HADN'T HAD ROOM TO MANEUVER, WE WOULD HAVE HAD AN EXTREMELY BAD ACCIDENT. MANY PEOPLE HAVE POSTED ON THE INTERNET WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. ON THIS SITE, I WAS ABLE TO FIND 10 COMPLAINTS WITH THE '06 AND 4 WITH THE '05. I 'M CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY WHEN I DRIVE THIS CAR AND URGE YOU TO INVESTIGATE/ISSUE A RECALL. *TR

DEFECTIVE HORN ASSEMBLY 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING TOURING CONVERTIBLE HORN GOES OFF INTERMITTENTLY (BUT NOT WHEN I WANT IT TO) AND REMAINS ON FOR 30-60 SECONDS. THIS IS A MUCH COMPLAINED ABOUT PROBLEM FOR PEOPLE WITH 2005 AND 2006 SEBRINGS. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GOOGLE "2006 SEBRING HORN COMPLAINTS" AND YOU'LL SEE THE SAME EXACT COMPLAINT OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN. AND YOU'LL ALSO SEE THAT CHRYSLER HAS TURNED A DEAF EAR TO THE PROBLEM. THIS IS ESP. DANGEROUS BECAUSE (ACCORDING TO OTHERS WHO'VE HAD THIS LOOKED AT) THE AIRBAG MODULE IS AT FAULT, ALTHOUGH THE AIRBAG LIGHT ISN'T ON. IMAGINE HOW SOMETHING LIKE YOUR HORN SUDDENLY GOING ON AND REMAINING ON FOR THAT PERIOD OF TIME MIGHT CREATE DANGEROUS CONDITIONS TO THE DRIVERS AND PEDESTRIANS. *TR

THE HORN ON THE CAR GOES OFF INTERMITTENTLY AND FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND WILL NOT GO STOP UNTIL IT'S DARN WELL WANTS TO. THIS IS A DANGEROUS TRAFFIC HAZARD, CAUSING OTHER DRIVE (AND THOSE IN THE SEBRING) TO SWERVE OR HIT THEIR BRAKES THINKING THAT THERE'S EITHER AN IMPENDING CRASH OR AN EMERGENCY ON THE ROAD, OR A CAR HAS GONE OUT OF CONTROL. IT'S AN ABSOLUTE DANGER TO ANY PEDESTRIANS. THERE ARE MANY SUCH COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ONLINE: SEE HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/CHRYSLER/SEBRING/2006/ELECTRICAL/HORN_GOES_OFF_BY_ITSELF.SHTML AND HTTP://WWW.ABOUTAUTOMOBILE.COM/COMPLAINT/2006/CHRYSLER/SEBRING AND. *TR
