2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING Electrical System Problems

HORN GOES OFF ON ITS OWN WHILE DRIVING. SAME SOMETIMES WHEN IT'S PARKED UNATTENDED. THIS RECURS ONCE A WEEK OR SO.

HORN GOES OFF BY ITSELF, EVEN SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY TURNED OFF. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING. AFTER BEING PARKED FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME, THE IGNITION WAS TURNED TO THE ON POSITION BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE FAILURE RECURRED CONTINUOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

CAR PULLED OUT IN FRONT AND HIT THE HORN, WHICH DID NOT WORK, AND NOW COMES ON ONLY INTERMITTENTLY, OR EVEN ON ITS OWN. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE SEBRINGS AND FROM BLOGS SEEMS TO BE DUE TO A FAULTY SWITCH INSIDE THE AIRBAG COVER ON THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS IS A TERRIBLE SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. *TR

WITH SOOOO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE HORN ISSUE LOCATED IN THE SAME SPOT AS THE AIRBAG NO ONE HAS PUT THE PIECES TOGETHER ABOUT HOWS THIS MAY BE CAUSED BY THE AIRBAG ISSUE. THE HORN ONLY HAS MAJOR ISSUES WHEN THE HUMIDITY IS HIGH. THIS IS THE SAME REASON THE AIRBAGS ARE HAVING ISSUES AND DEPLOYING WITH SHRAPNEL. CAN SOMEONE FIGHT FOR THE CONSUMER HERE THERE IS OVER 70 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE HORN WHICH THE COMPONENT IS SHARED WITH THE AIRBAG. THIS IS OCCURRING DURING HIGH HUMIDITY MAYBE AS A WARNING SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE COMPONENT HARNESSING THE HORN AND AIRBAG????? OR THE AIRBAG PRESSURE IS TRIGGERING THE HORN BEFORE THE PRESSURE BUILDS TO DEPLOY FOR NO REASON OTHER THAN HUMID WEATHER. *TR

MY HORN SOUNDS CONTINUOUSLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WITH NO CAUSE OR PROMPTING, CAUSING UNNECESSARY ANGST FOR ME AND DISCOMFORT FOR MY NEIGHBORS. *TR

IN THE BEGINNING, THE HORN WOULD SOUND RANDOMLY WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED AND UNOCCUPIED. IT WOULD CONTINUE TO SOUND UNTIL WE ADJUSTED THE STEERING WHEEL OR PUSHED ON THE HORN. HOWEVER, NOW THE HORN SOUNDS RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. IT DOESN'T STOP UNTIL I AM ABLE TO PULL OVER AND REMOVE THE FUSE. THIS CREATES AN UNSAFE SITUATION WITH OTHER DRIVERS. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT WAS SOME SORT OF ELECTRICAL FAILURE IN THE HORN AND AIRBAG WITHIN THE STEERING WHEEL. WE REPLACED THE FUSE THAT CONTROLS THIS MECHANISM, BUT IT DIDN'T WORK. THE HORN AND AIRBAG ARE AN INTEGRAL PIECE, SO IN ORDER TO REPLACE THE HORN, WE HAVE TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG. THIS WOULD COST MORE THAN $800. OUR EASIEST SOLUTION WAS TO REMOVE THE FUSE THAT CONTROLS THE HORN/ AIRBAG. THIS MEANS THAT I'M DRIVING IT WITHOUT AN AIRBAG OR HORN. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE FOR OTHER...

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...

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. 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. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL MECHANIC, WHO STATED THAT THE AIR BAG UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000.

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

THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE NOT ONLY FOR THE DRIVER OF THE CAR THE OTHERS ON THE ROAD WITH THEM! I WAS JUST GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE HORN STARTING GOING OFF ALL BY ITSELF. FINALLY TOOK OUT THE FUSE. THE HORN JUST GOES OFF RANDOMLY. IT WENT OFF WHEN HITTING UNLOCK BUTTON ON REMOTE AND OR JUST DRIVING. THEN TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID THAT THE HORN PAD ASSEMBLY WHICH WAS A DEALER ONLY PART HAD TO BE REPLACED SOME SENSOR OR SOMETHING. SO RIGHT NOW I HAVE JUST LEFT THE FUSE OUT, BECAUSE IT IS AN EXPENSIVE FIX. $1000.00. I AGREE WITH ALL OF THE OTHER PEOPLE THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE FIXING THIS ISSUE. REMOVING THE FUSE HAS CAUSED THE AIR BAG FUNCTIONS TO BE UNKNOWN. REMOVING THE FUSE TO STOP THE HORN ALSO AFFECTS PART OF THE FUELING SYSTEM ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL...

HORN WENT OFF WOULD NOT STOP ON CHRYSLER 2006 SEBRING. FUSE WAS PULLED TO STOP HORN DISABLED HORN & AIRBAG ACCORDING TO 3/4'S OF OTHERS REPORTS. PLEASE EXECUTE MANUFACTURER RECALL. *TR

AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS MY OWN INEPT USE OF THE HORN THAT I WAS NOT PRESSING IT RIGHT, BUT THE HORN WOULD NOT SOUND WHEN WARNING OTHER DRIVERS OF A DANGEROUS SITUATION SO I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT THE HORN WAS ACTUALLY DEFECTIVE. A CAR WAS TRAVELING THROUGH A RED LIGHT AND I NEEDED TO SOUND MY HORN TO WARN ON-COMING TRAFFIC THAT THERE WAS DANGER AND THE HORN WOULD NOT GO OFF AND THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. PERHAPS MY HORN MAY NOT HAVE PREVENTED THE ACCIDENT BUT IT WOULD HAVE HELPED. THE HORN SOMETIMES WORKED AND SOMETIMES DIDN'T BUT I JUST THOUGHT THAT I WAS ALWAYS PRESSING THE WRONG PLACE ON THE STEERING WHEEL. SINCE MAY 1, 2013, MY HORN JUST DECIDES TO SOUND AT ANY TIME. IT SEEMS TO BE MAKING UP FOR LOST TIME!?! IT NOT ONLY CAUSES ME TO PULL OVER...

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE HORN STARTED BLOWING BY ITSELF! THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE!!!!! I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS HAPPENING. I AM HANDICAPPED AND HAVE MY GRANDCHILDREN IN MY CAR. THIS IS SUCH A DISTRACTION TO MY NEIGHBORS AND TO OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. OTHER DRIVERS ARE DISTRACTED BY THE NOISE WHICH IS A SAFETY HAZARD! I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR 6 YRS AND HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. BUT IN DOING SOME RESEARCH THERE ARE MANY OTHER CARS LIKE MINE THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A GRAVE SITUATION WITH THIS HAPPENING. WHY ISN'T CHRYSLER DOING ANYTHING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IN THEIR CARS? WOULD CHRYSLERS UPPER ECHELON PUT THEIR FAMILIES IN THESE CARS AND SEND THEM OFF TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAYS WITH THE HORN RANDOMLY HONKING AND NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP IT...

OUT OF NO WHERE THE HORN JUST GOES OFF THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO REMOVE THE FUSE. IF YOU PLACE THE FUSE BACK IN, IT BLOWS THE FUSE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH WHEN THE HORN BEGAN TO OPERATE INADVERTENTLY FOR A BRIEF MOMENT AND THEN TURNED OFF INDEPENDENTLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION OR WHEN STATIONARY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE HORN GOES OFF BY ITSELF. WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED OR IT IS MOVING. THIS HAPPENS AT NIGHT AND IT DISTURBS MY NEIGHBORS. SOMETIMES IT STARTS BLOWING WHILE I'M DRIVING. THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. ON THE CARCOMPLAINTS.COM WEBSITE. THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND A CUSTOMER WAS TOLD IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE AIRBAG. A MECHANIC DISABLED THE AIRBAG, WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. THERE ARE 38 COMPLAINTS ON THE WEBSITE. ANY ELECTRICAL PROBLEM LIKE THIS CAN BE VERY HAZARDOUS TO THE PASSENGERS INSIDE THE VEHICLE. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE HORN BEGAN TO ACTIVATE INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HORN SOUNDED FOR AT LEAST 20 MINUTES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 138,728.

HORN GOES OFF FOR NO REASON UNTIL FUSE IS PULLED. NOW THAT FUSE IS PULLED I AM DRIVING AROUND WITH NO AIRBAGS. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 4 TIMES A WEEK UNTIL I NOW GO WITH THE FUSE OUT ALL THE TIME. NO SAFE DRIVING AROUND WITH OUT AIRBAGS!!!!! PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL ON WHATEVER IS CAUSING THIS ISSUE AND PUTTING THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE AT RISK. (NUMBER OF PEOPLE BASED ON INTERNET FORUMS AND COMPLAINTS!) *TR

LIKE MANY OTHERS, I HAD TO PULL THE FUSE FOR MY HORN, DISABLING MY AIR BAG BECAUSE THE HORN KEPT GOING OFF. WHY HASN'T IT BEEN RECALLED? *TR

HORN STARTED GOING OFF BY ITSELF ON MY RIDE TO WORK ON A VERY COLD MORNING. HAS GONE ON SEVERAL OTHER TIMES SINCE WHILE DRIVING. HORN REMAINS ON FOR SEVERAL MINUTES EACH TIME UNTIL I CAN SAFELY PULL TO THE SIDE AND HIT THE HORN AREA OF THE STEARING WHEL WITH A HAMMER TO GET IT TO TURN OFF. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, THE HORN DOESNT WORK PROPERLY WHEN I NEED IT TO AND IT TURNS ON ON ITS OWN WHEN I DONT NEED IT TO CAUZING A DRIVING HAZARD FOR MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. FROM MY RESEARCH I HAVE SEEN THAT PULLING THE FUSE WILL ALSO DISABLE TO AIRBAG CREATING A DOUBLE SAFETY ISSUE. THIS SHOULD ABSOLUTELY BE RECALLED BY CHRYSLER AS THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON SAFETY ISSUE IN MANY OF THEIR MAKES, MODELS AND YEARS. *TR

CAR ALARM OR HORN WILL GO OFF IN THE MORNING WHEN ITS WET/DAMP WHENEVER I UNLOCK WITH CLICKER OR MANUALLY WITH A KEY. IT WILL GO OFF FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS THEN SHUT OFF. ONLY UNTIL RECENTLY DID THE HORN START GOING OFF WHILE DRIVING IN THE MORNING FOR 20-30SECOND SPURTS. THIS WOULD HAPPEN ON FREEWAYS AND RESIDENTIAL ROADS. HAD TO DISCONNECT THE HORN RELAY WHICH I UNDERSTAND IS ALSO ASSOCIATED WITH THE AIRBAG TO STOP THE HONKING. I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING WITHOUT AN AIRBAG BUT THAT IS THE ONLY SHORT-TIME SOLUTION I HAVE. I ALSO UNDERSTAND TO FIX IT IS WELL OVER 1000 DOLLARS AND EVEN THEN IS NOT A PERMANENT FIX. *TR

PASSENGER DOOR MASTER SWITCH MALFUNCTION, DRIVER WINDOW ROLLED DOWN BY ITSELF DURING ICE STORM WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY WOULD NOT ROLL BACK UP. HAD TO PURCHASE AND REPLACE WITH NEW SWITCH. FAULTY REAR CAMBER IN BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT REAR WHEELS. BOTH LEANING INWARDS ABOUT 12 DEGREES, RUINED 2 NEW TIRES, HAD TO SPEND $670 FOR CAMBER KIT, AND $200 FOR (NEW) NEW TIRES. TRANSMISSION HERKY JERKY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HORN WOULD UNEXPECTEDLY SOUND WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AND WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 146,152.

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND THEN WHILE DRIVING, THE HORN WILL BEGIN TO BLARE (LIKE SOMEONE LAYING ON IT WITHOUT LETTING UP) FOR 30 SECONDS OR MORE. I INITIALLY TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC WHO COULD NOT REDUPLICATED THE ISSUE AND EVEN PERFORMED AN ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTIC TEST. ONE WEEK AFTER GETTING THE CAR BACK FROM THE MECHANIC WHO COULD NOT FIND THE ISSUE, THE HORN BLARED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AGAIN. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE, THIS MORNING, I WILL NEED TO DEACTIVATE THE HORN RELAY AGAIN. IF THE HORN GOES OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC WHICH IT HAS DONE TO ME BEFORE, IT CAN CAUSE CONFUSION AND ANGER. WITHOUT THE HORN, HOWEVER, I DO NOT HAVE THE MEANS TO ALERT ANOTHER DRIVER OF A POTENTIAL INCIDENT (EXAMPLE, ANOTHER DRIVER ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE LANES AND NOT REALIZING I AM IN...

HORN STARTED GOING OFF WHEN THE CAR WAS PARKED IN DRIVE. THEN STARTED GOING OFF AS YOU DRIVE THE CAR. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO TAKE OUT THE FUSE, WHICH DISABLES THE AIRBAG IN THE STEERING WHEEL. BOTH OF THESE PROBLEMS ARE SAFETY ISSUES AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE AS IT SEEMS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE AIRBAG WOULD HAVE TO BEE REMOVED TO GET TO THE HORN CONTACTS AND THIS WILL COST UPWARDS OF $800. WE LIVE ON DISABILITY DUE TO CANCER AND CAN NOT AFFORD THIS COST. CAR WAS BOUGHT TO GET HUSBAND BACK AND FORTH TO CANCER TREATMENT. THERE ARE 61 COMPLAINTS THIS SAME PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED THE HORN BEGAN TO BLOW ON ITS OWN AND TURNED OFF AFTER APPROXIMATELY TWENTY SECONDS. THE FAILURE OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES AND IT CONTINUES TO OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE TECHNICIAN REPAIRED THE FOREIGN RELAY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE 32,000.

I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING THAT I PURCHASED NEW AND THE HORN GOES OFF BY ITSELF ALL THE TIME. IT HAS GONE OFF WHEN I CLICK THE LOCK OR UNLOCK BUTTONS ON MY KEYLESS REMOTE, WHEN YOU OPEN OR CLOSE THE DOOR, DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, STARTING OR SHUTTING OFF THE VEHICLE, WHILE SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY. I CAN'T SEEM TO FIND ANYTHING IN PARTICULAR THAT WILL MAKE IT STOP. AFTER SOME INVESTIGATING I HAVE FOUND THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE SEBRINGS AND HAVE DISCOVERED THAT IT WILL COST APPROX. $1000 TO FIX IT. THE HORN IS ATTACHED TO THE AIRBAG IN THE STEERING COLUMN, SO THE AIRBAG HAS TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE ALSO DISCOVERED THAT IF YOU PULL THE HORN FUSE, WHICH MOST PEOPLE ARE DOING BECAUSE THEY CAN'T AFFORD THE REPAIR, IT WILL DISABLE THE AIR BAG. SO I FEEL THIS IS A...

I OWN A 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING, THE HORN GOES OFF ON ITS OWN AND I HAVE TO PULL THE FUSE TO GET IT TO STOP. THERE IS NO TSB OR RECALL FOR THIS BUT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM. *TR

2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING HORN-GOES OFF BLARING WITH OUT WARNING REGARDLESS IF CAR IS ON OR NOT. AT FIRST I COULD PRESS HARD ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO GET IT TO STOP, NOW I HAVE TO PULL FUSE TO CUT IT OFF. FINALLY JUST PULLED FUSE OUT PERM. DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY COULD DO NOTHING, AS IT DID NOT HAPPEN WHEN THEY HAD IT. ****THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AS IT COULD GIVE OTHER DRIVERS MIXED SIGNALS FROM YOU WHEN GOES OFF, CAUSES A MAJOR DISTRACTION FOR YOU AND OTHER DRIVERS OPERATING IN THE AREA AND MOST JUST PULL FUSE MAKING THE HORN INOPERABLE-GREAT SAFETY ISSUE AS A HORN IS A REQUIREMENT TO PASS INSPECTION IF ITS OPERATION WAS NOT IMPORTANT WOULD NOT BE ON INSPECTION STANDARD AND IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS IS DESIGN/PARTS ISSUE NOT ABUSE OF THE VEHICLE BY THE CONSUMER. NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED...

2006 SEBRING, ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE HORN GOING OFF BY ITSELF, MORE SO IN COLD WEATHER AND FOR AT LEAST A YEAR. WITH ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS THIS IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE A RECALL AS THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS IF YOU ARE IN TRAFFIC AND IT CONFUSES THE HORNS INTENT. HAVE COMPLAINED BUT HAVE GOTTEN THE BRUSH OFF FROM THE DEALER SAYING THEY COULD DO NOTHING UNTIL THEY HEARD THE HORN GO OFF. *TR

2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING. HORN GOES OFF AT WILL WHEN I'M DRIVING OR WHEN THE CAR IS JUST SITTING THERE. WHEN I REALLY NEED THE HORN, IT WILL EITHER NOT HONK AT ALL OR GET STUCK AND KEEP HONKING FOR ABOUT 3 MINUTES. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING ON AND OFF FOR OVER A YEAR NOW.

AT AROUND 40K MILES THE HORN ON MY 2006 SEBRING STARTED TO GO OFF WITHOUT BEING PRESSED. AT FIRST IT MALFUNCTIONED WHEN I UNLOCKED THE CAR WITH THE KEYLESS REMOTE. THEN IT BEGIN DOING IT WHILE DRIVING. IT DOESN'T JUST BEEP THE HORN GETS STUCK SO I AM POUNDING ON MY STEERING WHEEL TRYING TO GET IT TO STOP. MY WIFE WAS PULLED OVER ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE THE POLICE THOUGHT SHE WAS DRIVING AGGRESSIVELY BLARING THE HORN AT EVERYONE. LUCKILY WHILE SHE WAS EXPLAINING TO THE OFFICER THE PROBLEM THE CAR HAS THE HORN WENT OFF AND HE SAW FOR HIMSELF THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS I JUST HAD THE MECHANIC UNHOOK THE HORN, WHICH IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD, BECAUSE HE GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE NEAR $1000.00 TO REPAIR IT. SO ITS BEEN OVER A YEAR AND ABOUT 20K MILES THAT I...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING TOURING. WHILE PROCEEDING FROM A TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE SAFETY ALARM SYSTEM SOUNDED WITHOUT WARNING, AND THEN DEACTIVATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING REPAIRED FOR THE FAILURE. UPDATED 1/28/10 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE ALARM AND HORN WOULD SOUND. THEN IT WOULD START AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. UPDATED 02/03/10.*JB

MY 2006 SEBRING IS HAVING HORN PROBLEMS AGAIN. IN AUGUST OF 2007, I HAD IT IN THE DEALER TO DO A WARRANTY FIX ON THE "AIR BAG MODULE", WHICH WAS CAUSING MY HORN TO SOUND AT ODD TIMES AND PROLONGED DURATIONS. NOW, IN APRIL OF 2009 THE PROBLEM HAS RETURNED. THIS TIME THERE IS NO WARRANTY COVERAGE AND THE PRICE TO FIX IS RIDICULOUSLY HIGH. I HAVE SEARCHED ONLINE AND HAVE FOUND THIS PROBLEM TO BE VERY COMMON WITH CHRYSLER VEHICLES. I THINK CHRYSLER SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL ON AFFECTED VEHICLES. A WORKING HORN IS A SAFETY REQUIREMENT IN MANY STATES. MY STATE INSPECTION IS DUE BY THE END OF THIS MONTH AND I HAVE TO HAVE IT FIXED IN ORDER TO LEGALLY DRIVE IN TEXAS. *TR

I BOUGHT MY SEBRING SEDAN IN MAY OF 2006 WITH 5 MILES ON IT. FOR STARTERS, I IMMEDIATELY HAD ISSUES WITH THE RADIO CUTTING OUT. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP ASAP, AND THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE FIXED IT, BUT DIDN'T. MY SECOND PROBLEM WAS MY HORN. IT ALL OF A SUDDEN STARTED SOUNDING MUFFLED, IF IT SOUNDED AT ALL. I CALLED ABOUT THAT PROBLEM AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN. WHICH I WOULD HAVE, BUT OVER THAT WEEKEND OUT OF NOWHERE, MY CAR STALLED OUT ON ME WITHOUT ANY KIND OF WARNING LIGHTS OR GAUGES. I CALLED A LOCAL TOWING COMPANY TO PICK IT UP, AND THEY IMMEDIATELY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD SEE RIGHT OFF THE BAT THAT I HAD A LARGE HOLE IN MY OIL PAN, AND ALL OF THE OIL HAD PROBABLY LEAKED OUT. SO I TOLD THEM JUST TO GO AHEAD AND...
