| While exiting the driveway, the horn just randomly began going off and would not stop. nothing we did would stop it. we turned off the car, and began pulling all fuses and relays associated with the horn until it stopped. when we put the relay back in, the horn went off again. the only way to keep the horn off, is to pull the relay- otherwise it blows 24/7. we replace the relay with a new one; same thing- horn blowing 24/7. so now i am driving around without a horn, which is a very dangerous thing to be doing. not to mention i can not pass a safety inspection without it. based on our research, the only way to fix it, is to replace the guts under the air bag, which means replacing the air bag as well. how is this not a safety issue? chrysler should be issuing a recall for this!!!! | |||

| Horn/air bag module broken. horn goes off randomly while driving, parking or unlocking/locking the doors. i drove into a garage on the way to work and they diagnosed the problem as the horn/airbag module was broken. the estimate was $1100; however, i opted for the less expensive, unsafe remedy and just had him disconnect the horn. (big safety hazard). there have been so many complaints for this and im curious why this has not been recalled. its clearly a major saftey issue, i scared an elderly driver this morning, my horn was blowing non-stop and she froze in the intersection. very unsafe! | |||

| While driving home from the movies the horn started to blow on it's own accord. since that incedent it has done this three time. i have to pull up on the air bag cover on the steering wheel housing to stop it. this morning it started going off again. i took it to my mechanic and he advised i take it to the dealership for repair since it is housed with the air bag. my mechanic did unhook the horn for me which is a big safety hazard. i have read that this also disengages the air bag. | |||

| At random times while driveing the horn blows and stays on like it's stuck , it will do it at random times while parked or locking and unlocking the doors . sometimes you can beat on the center of the steering wheel and it will go off like their is a short in the electrical wireing of the horn button . the only way to drive the car or keep the battery from draining is to pull the horn relay out of the fuse block and then you don't have the safety of the air bags . in most states the horn must work in order to pass a vehicle inspection . i also phoned the chrysler corp. to let them know of this on going unsafe issue that so many of thier customers are liveing with and they said their were no recalls at this time . thier has probably already been many accidents and fatalities from this hidden failure . horn blowing at the wrong time or no horn at the right time and no air bags to protect you at that time ....... | |||

| The horn on my 2006 chrysler sebring convertible randomly goes off when the vehicle is first started and when the vehicle is being driven. this causes a safety issue by distracting the driver of the vehicle and drivers of other vehicles. this is caused by a problem where the company logo that is mounted on the steering wheel nterferes with the horn pad in the sterring column. | |||
