2006 Chrysler Sebring Conv

HORN GOES OFF BY ITSELF. WHEN I UNLOCKED DOOR WITH REMOTE HORN STARTED TO BLOW AND WOULD STOP WHEN STEERING WHEEL WAS PRESSED AND THEN START UP AGAIN FOR NO REASON. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME FIRST TIME WAS WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR USED FUSE HAD BEEN PULLED. AIRBAG SECTION WITH HORN WAS REPLACED WITH USED PART. THIS WORKED WELL FOR 1 1/2 YEARS NOW IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN. *TR

HORN RANDOMLY GOES OFF (LIKE THE ALARM).AT FIRST IT WAS AT UNLOCK, NOW IT IS ALSO WHEN DRIVING AT SPEED. TOTALLY RANDOM. TODAY IT WENT OFF IN THE DRIVEWAY, AT A PARKING LOT, AND THEN AGAIN WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME. TOOK TO A DEALERSHIP LAST WEEK, THEY COULD NOT LOCATE A FAULT. 5 MIN ON GOOGLE AND I SAW MANY COMPLAINTS ON A FOIL THAT GETS WORN OVER TIME CAUSING CONTACT SHORTS IN THE HORN ASSEMBLY OR PAD...APPARENTLY A $1100 FIX. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND IT IS A FAULTY PART, IT SHOULD MOST CERTAINLY BE A RECALL. I HAVE ONLY DRIVEN THIS CAR 31000 MILES. *TR

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
