| 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. | |||

| 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 reduplicate 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. | |||

| 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 ammount 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 safey 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 and after doing much research i have found that there are many other people with the same problem and honestly chrysler should have to fix this b/c its obviously not the consumers fault. do people really have to die or something for this to be viewed as a problem and for someone to fix it? i really hope not and i really hope it gets resolved. we all pay enough money for our cars, we shouldnt have to pay more for a problem that we didnt create. | |||

| 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 have been driving a vehicle with no horn. my car is due for safety inspection on april 25th and it definitely wont pass without a horn, and $1000 is way too much to pay to get a horn fixed. had i known about this site a couple years ago i would have posted a complaint then, but i guess better late than never. | |||
