2006 Chrysler Sebring

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 LANE NEXT TO THEM). ALSO, I UNDERSTAND I AM NOT THE FIRST ONE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE. FROM OTHER COMPLAINANTS, I SEE THAT THE HORN IS TIED IN WITH THE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY IN THE STEERING WHEEL/COLUMN, SO APPARENTLY THE AIRBAG IS AFFILIATED IN THIS MALFUNCTION, AGAIN A SAFETY ISSUE AND VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR I CANNOT AFFORD TO MAKE. *TR

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 VERY BAD SAFETY ISSUE. 1. THE HORN GOING OFF RANDOMLY AND NOT WORKING PROPERLY WHEN NEEDED. THE HORN HAS TO BE WORKING PROPERLY BEFORE YOUR CAR CAN PASS THE SAFETY INSPECTION 2. IF PEOPLE PULL THE HORN FUSE TO STOP IT FROM GOING OFF THEN THEIR AIR BAG WON'T WORK, WHICH ISN'T SAFE. I HAVE FOUND 27 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM ON YOUR WEBISTE ALONE. FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON OTHER WEBSITES. I FEEL THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD HAVE TO DO A RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. I CAN'T AFFORD THE $1000 SO HAVE PULLED MY HORN FUSE AND AM NOW DRIVING WITHOUT AN AIRBAG AND HORN. HOW SAFE IS THAT? *TR
