I WAS DRIVING AT MINIMUM SPEED TO TURN RIGHT AND THEN I LOST CONTROL OF MY STEERING WHEEL ALMOST HIT SOME CARS AND A POLE BUT THE SIDEWALK STOPPED THE CAR FROM GOING ANYWHERE I LOOKED UP ONLINE BECAUSE I SAW A RECALL THAT WAS RELATED TO MY SITUATION CALLED DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR MY CAR. CAR IS DRIVABLE LIKE IF NOTHING EVER HAPPENED BUT I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT. *TR
JUST PURCHASED THE CAR A YEAR AGO. HORN DID NOT WORK SINCE THE PURCHASE DATE. FINALLY DECIDED TO SEE IF I COULD FIX THE PROBLEM. WHEN TRYING TO REPAIR IT,DISCOVERED FUSE WAS REMOVED BECAUSE HORN BLOWS CONTINUOUSLY. *TR

IN MARCH OR SO OF 2011, WHILE DRIVING, ALL OF A SUDDEN MY HORN JUST GOES OFF FOR NO REASON WHATSOVER AND WOULD NOT STOP. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED THAT ITS A FACTORY PROBLEM WITH THE CLOCKSPRING. THIS PART HOWEVER IS ATTACHED TO THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY & TO REPLACE IT, THE ENTIRE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY MUST BE ALSO REPLACED WHICH IS OVER $600 JUST FOR THE PART & ANOTHER $1000 FOR LABOR. MY ONLY OPTION WAS TO COMPLETELY DISCONNECT THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY AS ITS THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE HORN. SO NOW I HAVE TO DRIVE THE CAR WITHOUT THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. THIS IS A DIRECT SAFETY DEFECT!! I SPOKE WITH A CHRYSLER REP & THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM WITH THAT YEARS MODEL, EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE SOOO MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE ALL OVER THE USA ABOUT IT... HOW CAN THIS NOT BE A SAFETY RECALL??? I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER!! *TR
HORN STARTED BLOWING ON ITS OWN. FINALLY SHUT OFF AFTER 4 MINUTES. HORN WENT OFF 5 TIMES ON MARCH 14, 2014. HORN WILL TURN ON WHETHER CAR IS ON OR NOT. *TR
I WAS JUST GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE HORN STARTING GOING OFF ALL BY ITSELF. FINALLY TOOK OUT THE FUSE AND WENT AND BOUGHT A NEW FUSE. THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. IT WENT OFF WHEN HITTING UNLOCK BUTTON ON REMOTE. THEN TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID THAT THE HORN PAD ASSEMBLY WHICH WAS A DEALER ONLY PART HAD TO BE REPLACED…

I WAS JUST GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE HORN STARTING GOING OFF ALL BY ITSELF. FINALLY TOOK OUT THE FUSE AND WENT AND BOUGHT A NEW FUSE. THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. IT WENT OFF WHEN HITTING UNLOCK BUTTON ON REMOTE. THEN TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID THAT THE HORN PAD ASSEMBLY WHICH WAS A DEALER ONLY PART HAD TO BE REPLACED. SO RIGHT NOW I HAVE JUST LEFT THE FUSE OUT, BECAUSE IT IS AN EXPENSIVE FIX.THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE PART AND CHRYSLER SHOULD FIX THIS ISSUE. THEY SAY IT WILL COST $1,000 FOR PARTS AND LABOR. THIS IS NOT THE FAULT OF WHAT I DID IT IS THE FAULT OF WHAT THEY MANUFACTURED. *TR
DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN MY HORN SUDDENLY STARTED GOING OFF. DID NOT TURN OFF UNTIL I BEAT ON THE STEERING WHEEL. CONTINUES TO DO THIS EVERY DAY NOW, SCARING DRIVERS AROUND ME AND THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HORN SOUNDED INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT HAD TO REMOVE A FUSE TO STOP THE HORN FROM SOUNDING.

WHEN I UNLOCKED THE CAR REMOTELY, THE HORN SOUNDED CONTINUOUSLY FOR MORE THAN A FULL MINUTE. IT HAPPENED A SECOND TIME ABOUT A WEEK LATER, BUT CONTINUED ON AND OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES AFTER I DROVE A SHORT DISTANCE. I HAVE READ ONLINE OF MANY SIMILAR HAPPENINGS, AND IN MOST CASES, IT LOOKS LIKE A POSSIBLE REPAIR FOR ABOUT $1,000. …

WHEN I UNLOCKED THE CAR REMOTELY, THE HORN SOUNDED CONTINUOUSLY FOR MORE THAN A FULL MINUTE. IT HAPPENED A SECOND TIME ABOUT A WEEK LATER, BUT CONTINUED ON AND OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES AFTER I DROVE A SHORT DISTANCE. I HAVE READ ONLINE OF MANY SIMILAR HAPPENINGS, AND IN MOST CASES, IT LOOKS LIKE A POSSIBLE REPAIR FOR ABOUT $1,000. MOST SEEM TO BE REMOVING A FUSE THAT ALSO DISABLES THE AIR BAG. IF THE AIR BAGS ARE LIFE SAVERS, DO WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR A DEATH FOR CHRYSLER AND THE GOVERNMENT TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. ...UPDATED 11-06-13 *BF
