2006 Chrysler Sebring Complaints

HORN GOES OFF ALL BY IT'S SELF WHEN CAR IS OFF ANY TIME OF DAY OR NIGHT ONLY WAY I COULD GET IT TO STOP WAS TO PULL HORN FUSE WITCH MAY DISABLE AIRBAG .POSSIBLE CAUSE IS A CLOCK SPRING IN WITCH DEALER CLAIMS TO HAVE NEVER HEARD OF BEFORE BUT WHEN TYPED ON LINE ABOUT IT THE PROBLEM IT FINISHES YOUR SENTENCE. SOUNDS PRETTY COMMON TO ME.THIS PROBLEM COULD CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO FAIL AND CAUSE INJURY TO THE DRIVER OR DEATH

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING. WITHOUT WARNING, THE HORN CONTINUED TO SOUND AND THE NOISE CONTINUED RANDOMLY FOR WEEKS. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,000.

THE HORN GOES OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE FIRST TIME IS HAPPENED WAS A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO WHILE DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET AT 6:10AM (TAKING MY CHILD TO SCHOOL). THE HORN WENT OFF A VARIOUS TIMES (WHILE DRIVING DOWN MAJOR CITY STREETS) FOR A FEW DAYS. ON SATURDAY 1/2/16 I STARTED (IN MY DRIVEWAY) THE CAR AND THE HORN WENT OFF. I PUSHED THE STEERING WHEEL THE HORN STAYED ON, NEXT I PUSHED THE PANIC BUTTON, IT STAYED ON UNTIL I PUSHED THE PANIC BUTTON A SECOND TIME ABOUT 2 MINUTES LATER. THEN ON THE SAME DAY WHILE DRIVING ON A (MAIN CITY STREET) THE HORN WENT OFF FOUR TIMES WITHIN FIVE MINUTES. HOWEVER, EACH TIME IT THE HORN TURNED OFF WHEN I PUSHED THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS MORNING 1/4/16 THE HORN WENT OFF SEVERAL TIMES BACK TO BACK FOR ABOUT A MINUTE, ONLY TURNING OFF WHEN I PUSHED THE STEERING WHEEL. DID A GOOGLE SEARCH AND FOUND 57 COMPLAINTS (COMPLAINT.COM) ABOUT THE SAME HORN PROBLEM. SUGGESTED I ADD MY VOICE TO WHAT IS CLEARLY A PROBLEM.

MY HORN GOES OFF FOR NO APPARENT REASON. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IT GOES OFF AND TO GET IT TO STOP I HAD TO HOLD MY HAND LIGHTLY OVER THE AIR BAG AND HORN BUTTONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL.

I AM WRITING TO THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION TO FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINST THE FIAT-CHRYSLER COMPANY. SINCE THE BEGINNING OF FEBRUARY 2015, MY HORN HAS BEEN GOING OFF WHEN MY IS PARKED AT NIGHT TIME, AND THEREFORE MANY COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN REPORTED BY MY NEIGHBORS, WHEN MY HORN AUTOMATICALLY GOES ON DURING THE HOURS OF THE NIGHT, IT IS VERY UPSETTING HAVING TO EXPLAIN MY SITUATION TO THE NEIGHBORS. A TECHNICIAN AT ONE OF THE FIAT-CHRYSLER REPAIR CENTERS DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AND STATED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE DUE TO A BAD SWITCH THAT CONTROLS THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG AND HORN, AND THAT WOULD COST OVER $1,000 TO REPAIR. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO REPAIR IT BECAUSE IT WASN'T RECALL ISSUE. BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT I AM ON PERMANENT DISABILITY AND ON A VERY LOW INCOME, I AM UNABLE TO AFFORD TO REPAIR IT. AFTER REALIZING THAT THERE IS NO LIGHT IN SIGHT, I BEGAN TO RESEARCH AS TO HOW MANY OTHER CONSUMERS/OR CHRYSLER SEBRING OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE S...
