NHTSA Complaint #10555155 — 2000 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE

THIS MORNING AT APPROXIMATELY 8:00 A.M. CENTRAL, MY HUSBAND AND I WERE AWAKEN TO OUR CAR HORN BLARING. I AM QUITE SURE THAT ALL OF OUR NEIGHBORS ARE NOW AWAKE AS WELL. WE TRIED TO TURN IT OFF THINKING IT WAS THE PANIC BUTTON, BUT TURN OUT THAT IT WAS THE HORN. MY HUSBAND HAD TO PRESS ON IT REPEATEDLY TO MAKE IT STOP. HE GETS OUT OF THE VEHICLE, AND AS SOON AS HE SHUTS THE DOOR, IT START BLARING AGAIN!!! HE THEN LEAVES THE CAR DOOR OPEN AND STARTS THE VEHICLE TO HEAT UP THE ENGINE, SINCE WE HAD FREEZING TEMPERATURES THE LAST COUPLE OF NIGHTS. IT WASN'T UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS WARM THAT HE WAS ABLE TO SHUT THE DOOR WITHOUT IT GOING OFF AGAIN. I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM ONLINE AND FOUND THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE AND SOME HAVE EXPERIENCED THE HORN GOING OFF WHILE DRIVING!!!! I ALSO HAVE READ WHERE THE DEALERSHIPS ARE NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS PROBLEM, AS IT SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE AND COVERED 100%!! IT IS VERY ANNOYING AND EMBARRASSING, BUT ALSO A DANGER IF IT OCCURS WHILE PEOPLE ARE DRIVING!!!!!! *TR
