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

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

COULD NOT USE MY HORN AND AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY DURING AN ACCIDENT. THE AIRBAG AND HORN DO NOT WORK BECAUSE THE FUSE HAD TO BE TAKEN OUT THE FUSE RUNS THESE FUNCTIONS. THE FUSE WAS TAKEN OUT BECAUSE THE HORN DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY WHICH ALSO MEANS THE AIRBAG HAS A FIFTY, FIFTY CHANCE OF WORKING WITH THE FUSE IN. BECAUSE NO INVESTIGATION HAS BEEN DONE ON THIS FUNCTION EVERYONE ON THE ROAD IS AT RISK. SAFETY IS AN ISSUE AND THIS NEEDS TO HAVE A RECALL. STOP MAKING AMERICANS PAY FOR LEMONS!!! *TR

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...

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

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...

HORN JUST GOES OFF ON ITS ON NO MATTER F THE CAR'S ENGINE IS RUNNING OR NOT. IT OCCURES AT LEAST 2 TO 3 TIMES A DAY TILL I PULLED THE FUSE. *TR

WE NOTICED AT AROUND 40,000 MILES THAT THE HORN WILL JUST START HONKING BY ITSELF. IF YOU DRIVE DOWN THE STREET THE HORN HONKS. IT DOES MAKE FOR A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND SHOULD BE RECALLED IN MY OPINION. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I'VE ALMOST BEEN RUN OVER NOW BECAUSE I CAN'T USE MY HORN. ONLY WAY TO KEEP IT FROM BLOWING WHENEVER IT WANTS TO IS TO PULL THE FUSE. SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE IN COLDER WEATHER, BUT HAVE ALSO BEEN TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM ALSO AFFECTS THE AIRBAGS IN THE CAR. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY HORN. IF I PRESS THE HORN SOMETIMES IT WON'T WORK AND IF IT DOES IT WILL CONTINUE TO BLARE WITHOUT ME EVEN TOUCHING IT. RECENTLY IT STARTED TO JUST GO OFF BY ITSELF WHETHER THE CAR IS ON OR OFF, OR I'M IN IT OR NOT. IT WILL START BLARING WHEN I DRIVE SOMETIMES AND NO AMOUNT OF PUSHING THE HORN PAD WILL STOP IT, IT WILL STOP WHEN IT WANTS TO. SOMETIMES WHEN I AM IN MY HOUSE I HEAR MY CAR BEEP THE HORN A COUPLE OF TIMES. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM B/C THIS STARTLES THE DRIVER AND OTHERS AROUND THEM, I BELIEVE THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND IF NOT COULD POTENTIALLY MAKE THE WRONG PERSON MAD AND RESULT IN ME GETTING HURT. THIS REALLY CONCERNS ME...

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

I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING AND THE HORN IN MY CAR KEEPS GOING OFF FOR NO REASON WHILE I AM DRIVING AND WHILE ITS PARKED ITS GETTING TO THE POINT WHERE I CANNOT EVEN USE MY HORN AT ALL WHEN I NEED IT BUT IT WILL GO OFF WHEN I DON'T A FEW MOMENTS LATER AND IT WONT STOP EVEN WHEN I HIT IT. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING AND THE HORN IN MY CAR KEEPS GOING OFF FOR NO REASON WHILE I AM DRIVING AND WHILE ITS PARKED ITS GETTING TO THE POINT WHERE I CANNOT EVEN USE MY HORN AT ALL WHEN I NEED IT BUT IT WILL GO OFF WHEN I DON'T A FEW MOMENTS LATER AND IT WONT STOP EVEN WHEN I HIT IT. *TR

45,000 MILES ON MY 2006 SEBRING AND THE HORN STARTS BLOWING FOR NO REASON ON JANUARY 1, 2009. THE HORN HAS BLOWN SITTING IN GARAGE, PARKING LOT, DRIVEWAY & WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. I WOULD SAY IT WAS DOING IT ABOUT EVERY OTHER DAY, SOMETIMES TWICE A DAY. IT WILL NOT SHUT OFF, MUST KEEP HITTING & POUNDING ON STEERING PAD TO GET IT TO STOP. FINALLY HAD TO DISCONNECT THE HORN. I DIDN'T WANT TO GET STUCK SOMEWHERE WITH A DEAD BATTERY OR WORSE, GET IN AN ACCIDENT TRYING TO GET THAT HORN TO SHUT OFF. SO NOW I'M DRIVING WITHOUT A HORN, ALSO NOT SAFE. I CAN STILL HEAR A CLICKING SOUND IN THE STEERING PAD WHILE DRIVING, JUST LIKE I HEARD WHEN FIGHTING TO GET THE HORN TO STOP. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO SEE IT THIS IS COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY BUT...

2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING HORN JUST COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. IT WILL NOT GO OFF AND THEN JUST COMES ON AGAIN NOW AND THEN. WHY? IS THIS A RECALL AND IF SO HOW CAN I GET IT FIXED FREE? CAR HAS 47,000KM AN DI AM IN CANADA. *TR

HORN DOES NOT SOUND UNLESS IT IS PRESSED WITH EXTREME FORCE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN MESSED UP SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR- DEALERSHIP NEVER FINDS ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. REMOTE FOR HORN QUIT WORKING ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO- CAR IS A 2006. *TR

THE HORN IN MY 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING GOES OFF CONSTANTLY. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IIS A DEFECTIVE HORN ASSEMBLY AND I HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE STEERING WHEEL COVER AND AIRBAG AT A COST OF $630 FOR THE PART PLUS LABOR. MY CAR IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD AND I HAVE 44,000 ON THE CAR. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND CHRYSLER WILL DO NOTHING TO HELP ME. *TR
