2006 Chrysler Sebring Conv

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

HORN KEEPS GOING OFF BY IT SELF. NOW I HAVE NO HORN AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. 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 CAME VERY CLOSE TO BE RUNNING 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

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

THE ENGINE (A 2.7L V6) "BLEW" OR "LOCKED UP" WITH, WHAT WE LEARNED LATER, WAS AN OIL SLUDGE ACCUMULATION PROBLEM. NO OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT EVER CAME ON UNTIL IT WAS TOO LATE. THE ENGINE CAN NOT BE REPAIRED, ONLY REPLACED. THE DEALER WE BOUGHT THE CAR FROM, PURCHASED THE CAR (A RENTAL FROM FLORIDA) AT AUCTION. SO WE BOUGHT IT FROM HIM WITH 18,000 MI ALREADY ON IT. CHRYSLER WOULD NOT HONOR THE EXTENDED NEW CAR WARRANTY (8/80000) WE PURCHASED (AT $1000 EXTRA) BECAUSE WE COULD NOT PROVE, WITH RECEIPTS, THAT THE ENGINE WAS PROPERLY MAINTAINED. SO FAR NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO FIX THE CAR BECAUSE WE CAN'T AFFORD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE AT THIS TIME. WE HAVE ALSO SINCE LEARNED THAT CHRYSLER IS CURRENTLY INVOLVED IN CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS REGARDING THE 2.7L V6 ENGINE IN 4 STATES: CALIFORNIA, FLORIDA, ILLINOIS, AND NEW JERSEY, ALTHOUGH IT MAY HAVE BEEN CONSOLIDATED BY NOW (9/30/2010). NEED SOME HELP. THANKS *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
