2006 Chrysler Sebring Complaint Log

HORN OR ALARM RANDOMLY GOES OFF. IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP, IT DOES SO EVENTUALLY ON ITS OWN. THIS IS ON ENTRY TO THE CAR, WHETHER BY KEY, KEY FOB, OR EVEN OPENING TRUNK..AND WHEN DRIVING AT SPEED RANDOMLY. IS THIS NOT A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE? *TR DID A DEALER CHECK AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. NO RECALLS, NO PROBLEMS FROM CHRYSLER...HARD TO BELIEVE SINCE I SEE MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE THAT POINT TO A HORN PAD ASSEMBLY PROBLEM THAT COSTS $1000 TO FIX. THIS IS A LOW MILEAGE LOW USED CAR, I AM THE SECOND OWNER, THE FIRST BEING MY FATHER. NOT A LOT OF HORN BLOWING. TOOK IN AGAIN TO DEALER, CALLED CHRYSLER, NO INFO FROM EITHER. RETURNED TO THE DEALER WITH MECHANIC AND REPLICATED THE PROBLEM, AND HE FINALLY AGREED IT MIGHT BE THE HORN ASSEMBLY, AND REMOVED THE HORN FUSE. APPARENTLY THERE IS A FOIL THAT GETS WORN THROUGH CAUSING A SHORT ACTIVATING THE HORN, AND THE ONLY WAY TO FIX IS A REASSEMBLY. THIS IS NOT A FIX, THIS IS A FAULTY MANUFACTURING ISSUE (MATERIALS SKIMPING TO CUT CORNERS). THIS IS NOT A WAY TO BE A LONG TIME MANUFACTURER AND MAINTAIN THE QUALITY EXPECTED OF AMERICAN CARS. ITS AWFUL AND UNSAFE. THEY ALSO LED THE MECHANIC AROUND IN CIRCLES TESTING COMPUTERS AND ALL SORTS OF THINGS WHEN 5 MIN ON THE INTERNET DIRECTED ME TO THE PROBLEM AND AFTER A QUICK TEST PROVED TRUE. SUCH A WASTE OF TIME. *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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE HORN ERRONEOUSLY SOUNDED FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 MINUTES BEFORE SHUTTING OFF INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING SEDAN. OVER THE PAST WEEK THE HORN MALFUNCTIONS WHERE IT WILL BLARE FOR 30-40 SECONDS WHILE IT IS PARKED AND UNTOUCHED. THIS ALSO HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AND I HAD TO PUNCH THE STEERING WHEEL A COUPLE TIMES FOR IT TO STOP. I HAD TO PULL OUT THE FUSE TODAY. WHY CHRYSLER DOESN'T RECALL THIS IS BEYOND ME. IT IS DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

THE SEBRING HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF IT. LEFT FRONT OF SEBRING HITTING THE RIGHT REAR BUMPER OF CAR IN FRONT OF IT. IMMEDIATELY STOPPING THE SEBRING AND THEN HAVING IT ROLL BACKWARDS INTO A DITCH. TOTALLY THE SEBRING. NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. INJURIES SUSTAINED BECAUSE OF AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING. WEATHER OUTSIDE WAS BELOW ZERO. *TR

BACK IN JANUARY, MY HORN IN MY 2006 SEBRING STARTED BLOWING BETWEEN 9 & 11 PM FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON. IT LASTED FOR ABOUT 40 SECONDS. I DID THINK MUCH OF IT AT THE TIME, BUT IT STARTED HAPPENING NIGHTLY. PRACTICALLY EVERY NIGHT THE HORNS WILL BLOW FOR ABOUT 40 TO 60 SECONDS. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHENEVER THERE IS A TEMPERATURE DROP OUTSIDE. BUT NOW IT WILL GOING OFF SOMETIMES WHEN I START THE CAR AND SOMETIME WHILE I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I HAVE TO HIT THE HORN TO STOP IT WHILE DRIVING TO GET IT TO STOP. OTHER DRIVERS AND PEDESTRIANS SEEM TO PANIC WHEN IT GOES OFF BECAUSE IT IS SCARES THE HELL OF YOU WHEN IT GOES OFF AND THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ANY DANGER IN THE AREA. MY NEIGHBORS ARE GETTING A LITTLE ANNOYED WITH HORN GOING OFF AT NIGHT. IT EVEN WHEN OFF AT WORK WHILE PARKED IN THE PARKING LOT DURING THE DAY. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE, BECAUSE FROM WHAT I HAVE RESEARCHED ON THIS MATTER SHOWS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MANY SEBRING OWNERS. MANY OF THEM DO NOT EVEN KNOW THAT THEY CAN REPORT THIS AND MOST LIKELY ARE FOOTING THE $1000 PRICE TAG FOR THE DEFECT. *TR

VEHICLE'S HORN BLOWS AT DIFFERENT TIMES, IE...WHEN TURN SIGNAL IS ON, WHEN IT IS COLD OUTSIDE AND WHEN NOBODY IS IN THE CAR, USUALLY IN THE EARLY MORNING. *TR

IN THE BEGINNING, THE HORN WOULD SOUND RANDOMLY WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED AND UNOCCUPIED. IT WOULD CONTINUE TO SOUND UNTIL WE ADJUSTED THE STEERING WHEEL OR PUSHED ON THE HORN. HOWEVER, NOW THE HORN SOUNDS RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. IT DOESN'T STOP UNTIL I AM ABLE TO PULL OVER AND REMOVE THE FUSE. THIS CREATES AN UNSAFE SITUATION WITH OTHER DRIVERS. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT WAS SOME SORT OF ELECTRICAL FAILURE IN THE HORN AND AIRBAG WITHIN THE STEERING WHEEL. WE REPLACED THE FUSE THAT CONTROLS THIS MECHANISM, BUT IT DIDN'T WORK. THE HORN AND AIRBAG ARE AN INTEGRAL PIECE, SO IN ORDER TO REPLACE THE HORN, WE HAVE TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG. THIS WOULD COST MORE THAN $800. OUR EASIEST SOLUTION WAS TO REMOVE THE FUSE THAT CONTROLS THE HORN/ AIRBAG. THIS MEANS THAT I'M DRIVING IT WITHOUT AN AIRBAG OR HORN. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE FOR OTHER MOTORISTS AND MYSELF. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER. THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO, BECAUSE THE HORN DOES NOT FALL UNDER ANY OF THE WARRANTIES AND THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS PART. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE REGARDING THE AIRBAG AND HORN! IT IS VERY UNSAFE AND COMMON, THEREFORE IT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FOR A RECALL. I NOTICED THAT ON THE NHTSA SITE, PEOPLE ARE CATEGORIZING THIS PROBLEM AS "STEERING," "ELECTRICAL," OR "AIRBAG," BECAUSE THERE IS NO CATEGORY FOR "HORN." I HOPE THAT THIS IS NOT KEEPING THE NHTSA FROM RECOGNIZING HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE EFFECTED. PLEASE INVESTIGATE IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HORN WOULD ACTIVATE INTERMITTENTLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE DEALER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A LOUD METAL-ON-METAL SCRAPING SOUND WAS CONTINUOUSLY HEARD FROM OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO STATED THAT THE LOWER CONTROL ARM WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 09E056000 (SUSPENSION) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE VEHICLE WAS SCHEDULED FOR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HORN SOUNDED INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT HAD TO REMOVE A FUSE TO STOP THE HORN FROM SOUNDING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL MECHANIC, WHO STATED THAT THE AIR BAG UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000.

WHEN I UNLOCKED THE CAR REMOTELY, THE HORN SOUNDED CONTINUOUSLY FOR MORE THAN A FULL MINUTE. IT HAPPENED A SECOND TIME ABOUT A WEEK LATER, BUT CONTINUED ON AND OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES AFTER I DROVE A SHORT DISTANCE. I HAVE READ ONLINE OF MANY SIMILAR HAPPENINGS, AND IN MOST CASES, IT LOOKS LIKE A POSSIBLE REPAIR FOR ABOUT $1,000. MOST SEEM TO BE REMOVING A FUSE THAT ALSO DISABLES THE AIR BAG. IF THE AIR BAGS ARE LIFE SAVERS, DO WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR A DEATH FOR CHRYSLER AND THE GOVERNMENT TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. ...UPDATED 11-06-13 *BF

THE HORN STARTED BLOWING ON ITS OWN WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A LOCAL INTERSTATE. IT CAUSED THE CAR NEXT TO ME TO SWERVE THINKING I WAS BLOWING AT THEM. I ALSO GOT SEVERAL ANGRY LOOKS. THANKFULLY THE HORN EVENTUALLY (5 MINUTES) STOPPED & I DID NOT ENCOUNTER BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC. SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING AND SOMETIMES WHEN PARKED. I ALSO HAD A PROBLEM WHEN A CAR PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME AND THE HORN WOULD NOT BLOW WHEN PUSHED BUT DID START BLOWING A FEW SECONDS LATER AND WOULD NOT STOP. THIS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN THE HORN IS NEEDED & DOES NOT BLOW & IS ALSO A PROBLEM WHEN IT BLOWS WHEN IT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO. I CAN IMAGINE HOW I WOULD FEEL IF WHILE SITTING IN STOPPED TRAFFIC THE CAR BEHIND ME WOULD LAY ON THEIR HORN FOR SEVERAL MINUTES FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IF YOU REMOVE THE AIR BAG RELAY OR UNPLUG THE HORN WIRE THE HORN WILL STOP BLOWING. THIS OF COURSE WOULD LEAVE YOU WITHOUT A HORN, WHICH IS NOT A GOOD SITUATION. I HAVE ALSO BEEN TOLD BUT HAVE NOT CONFIRMED THAT BY UNPLUGGING THE HORN RELAY, IT MAKES THE DRIVERS AIRBAG INOPERATIVE (DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE). THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE IN THE HORN SWITCH LOCATED ON TOP OF THE AIR BAG. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY A CHRYSLER DEALER THAT THE ENTIRE AIR BAG NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IF THE HORN DOES NOT BLOW WHEN PUSHED OR BLOWS WHEN IT IS NOT PUSHED IT IS A REAL SAFETY CONCERN NOT TO MENTION IF YOU WERE IN A SERIOUS CRASH & THE HORN RELAY WAS REMOVED CAUSING THE AIR BAG NOT TO DEPLOY. *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 IN HEAVY TRAFFIC BUT IT MAKES OTHER DRIVERS PULL OVER AS WELL. PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR DANGER WHEN THERE IS NONE. IT IS A REAL PROBLEM AND I KNOW OTHERS WITH MY MAKE AND MODEL HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THE HORN MUST BE FIXED FOR SAFETY ISSUES AND REQUIRES THE HORN AND AIRBAG TO BE REPLACED (MEGA EXPENSIVE). BUT, IF THEY REPLACE THE HORN WITH THE SAME ASSEMBLY, WHAT PREVENTS IT FROM BEING DEFECTIVE AGAIN? IS THE AIR-BAG PART OF THE PROBLEM, IF SO, IS IT DEFECTIVE TOO? THESE ARE QUESTIONS THAT THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT ANSWER. THE PART NEEDS TO BE REDESIGNED SO THAT THIS ISSUE DOES NOT POSE A PROBLEM AGAIN AFTER BEING FIXED. *TR

2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING,HORN RANDOMLY GOES OFF EITHER WHILE VEHICLE ENGINE IS ON OR OFF....I TOOK OUT THE HORN FUSE AND NOW HAVE BEEN DRIVING UNSAFELY WITHOUT HORN AND APPARENTLY AIRBAGS. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN A FEW ACCIDENTS AND THE AIR BAGS NEVER WENT OFF.THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED, THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM, AND NOT ONLY ARE WE DRIVING AROUND WITHOUT A HORN, BUT ALSO NO AIRBAGS. IF I OR ANYONE ELSE GETS INJURED IN MY CAR DUE TO THIS MATTER THERE WILL BE A LAWSUIT AGAINST CHRYSLER, AND I AM NOT THE SUING TYPE, BUT I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW AND SHOULD HAVE THE ABILITY TO BE SAFE AND DUE TO THIS ISSUE, I CANNOT. WHAT DOES IT TAKE FOR A RECALL....SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH? *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE HORN STARTED BLOWING BY ITSELF! THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE!!!!! I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS HAPPENING. I AM HANDICAPPED AND HAVE MY GRANDCHILDREN IN MY CAR. THIS IS SUCH A DISTRACTION TO MY NEIGHBORS AND TO OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. OTHER DRIVERS ARE DISTRACTED BY THE NOISE WHICH IS A SAFETY HAZARD! I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR 6 YRS AND HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. BUT IN DOING SOME RESEARCH THERE ARE MANY OTHER CARS LIKE MINE THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A GRAVE SITUATION WITH THIS HAPPENING. WHY ISN'T CHRYSLER DOING ANYTHING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IN THEIR CARS? WOULD CHRYSLERS UPPER ECHELON PUT THEIR FAMILIES IN THESE CARS AND SEND THEM OFF TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAYS WITH THE HORN RANDOMLY HONKING AND NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP IT WHILE DRIVING A VEHICLE? FUNNY HOW PEOPLE JUST CAN'T PUT THEMSELVES IN OTHER PEOPLES PLACES BECAUSE OF THEIR POMPOUSNESS AND NARCISSISM. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED YESTERDAY!!! I CAN PROMISE CHRYSLER, IF SOMETHING HAPPENS, TO ANYONE, BECAUSE OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY IN MY FAMILY, BECAUSE THEY WE NEGLIGENT IN FIXING THE HORN PROBLEM, I WILL SEE THEM IN COURT WITH A GOOD LAWYER!!!!!!!! THAT YOU CAN BET ON! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH WHEN THE HORN BEGAN TO OPERATE INADVERTENTLY FOR A BRIEF MOMENT AND THEN TURNED OFF INDEPENDENTLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION OR WHEN STATIONARY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

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

THE HORN GOES OFF BY ITSELF. WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED OR IT IS MOVING. THIS HAPPENS AT NIGHT AND IT DISTURBS MY NEIGHBORS. SOMETIMES IT STARTS BLOWING WHILE I'M DRIVING. THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. ON THE CARCOMPLAINTS.COM WEBSITE. THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND A CUSTOMER WAS TOLD IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE AIRBAG. A MECHANIC DISABLED THE AIRBAG, WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. THERE ARE 38 COMPLAINTS ON THE WEBSITE. ANY ELECTRICAL PROBLEM LIKE THIS CAN BE VERY HAZARDOUS TO THE PASSENGERS INSIDE THE VEHICLE. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM! *TR

OUT OF NO WHERE THE HORN JUST GOES OFF THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO REMOVE THE FUSE. IF YOU PLACE THE FUSE BACK IN, IT BLOWS THE FUSE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE HORN BEGAN TO ACTIVATE INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HORN SOUNDED FOR AT LEAST 20 MINUTES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 138,728.

THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE NOT ONLY FOR THE DRIVER OF THE CAR THE OTHERS ON THE ROAD WITH THEM! I WAS JUST GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE HORN STARTING GOING OFF ALL BY ITSELF. FINALLY TOOK OUT THE FUSE. THE HORN JUST GOES OFF RANDOMLY. IT WENT OFF WHEN HITTING UNLOCK BUTTON ON REMOTE AND OR JUST DRIVING. THEN TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID THAT THE HORN PAD ASSEMBLY WHICH WAS A DEALER ONLY PART HAD TO BE REPLACED SOME SENSOR OR SOMETHING. SO RIGHT NOW I HAVE JUST LEFT THE FUSE OUT, BECAUSE IT IS AN EXPENSIVE FIX. $1000.00. I AGREE WITH ALL OF THE OTHER PEOPLE THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE FIXING THIS ISSUE. REMOVING THE FUSE HAS CAUSED THE AIR BAG FUNCTIONS TO BE UNKNOWN. REMOVING THE FUSE TO STOP THE HORN ALSO AFFECTS PART OF THE FUELING SYSTEM ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL (SAME FUSE). REMOVING THE FUSE HAS CAUSED US NOT TO BE ABLE TO USE OUR HORN INCASE SOMETHING RAN IN FRONT OF THE CAR OR TO ALARM OTHERS OF HARM. THE HORN IS A FUNCTION OF SAFETY AND WARNING. THIS IS STANDARD ON ALL CARS AS A PRECAUTION AND WARNING SYSTEM. THIS IS NOT A PART OF THE CAR THAT IS SPECIAL ORDERED, THESE COME STANDARD WITH ALL CARS. SO WHY IS CHRYSLER NOT PAYING FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE? YOUR COMPANY HAS BEEN RUN INTO THE GROUND WITH RECALLS AND SAFETY MEASURES NOT BEING TAKEN SERIOUSLY ENOUGH. TIME TO ACT ON THIS SITUATION; WITH OVER 70 COMPLAINTS THIS MUST NOT BE A WHIM. SAD PART IS THIS IS NOT THE ONLY ISSUE WITH THIS CAR THREE RECALLS ON IT AND THE DEALER SOLD THE CAR ANYWAY WITHOUT REPAIRING RECALLS. *TR

MY CONTROL ARM AND LOWER BALL JOINT SEPARATED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I WAS LEFT BLOCKING A BUSY INTERSECTION BECAUSE I LITERALLY COULD NOT MOVE MY CAR BECAUSE THE TIRE HAD ALSO SEPARATED FROM THE AXLE. I HAD TO REPLACE THE RIGHT AXLE, RIGHT LOWER CONTROL ARM, LEFT LOWER BALL JOINT, AND REPLACE THE OUTER TIE ROD END. THIS COST ME OVER $1,000. I RECENTLY CAME ACROSS THAT A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR THESE VERY THINGS THAT HAPPENED TO ME, HOWEVER, I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. I WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THIS EXPENSE. *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

SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE LAST FEW MONTH THE HORN JUST RANDOMLY GOES OFF IN A LONG BLAST. IT WILL CONTINUE UNTIL YOU BEAT AND BANG ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND COLUMN. *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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS UNEXPECTEDLY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH. THE FAILURE HAD OCCURRED A TOTAL OF TWO TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE WAS NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

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

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

ON JULY 21ST I WAS HEADING HOME FROM WORK AND THE NOISE JUST OCCURRED AS SOON AS I WAS TURNING ONTO THE RAMP TO GET TO THE HIGHWAY. I INSTANTLY TOOK MY CAR TO FIRESTONE WHERE I ALWAYS TAKE MY CAR AND THEY DID A FULL INSPECTION AND REALIZED THAT MY BUSHING TO MY MOTOR MOUNT WENT OUT, MY MOTOR MOUNT WAS SHOT AND MY MOTOR MOUNT BRACKET WAS SHOT. THIS ISSUE IS VERY UNSAFE AND I CONTACTED BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU, CHRYSLER CORPORATION, CHRYSLER CEO AND CHAIRMAN, GOVERNOR RICK SNYDER, CONGRESSMAN BILL HUIZENGA, AND ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. THIS HAS BEEN A LONG TIME WITHOUT A CAR AND NO NORMAL HUMAN BEING CAN AFFORD SPENDING 600 DOLLARS A MONTH FOR A RENTAL CAR WHEN IT IS NOT THE CONSUMERS PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER DOESN'T MAKE A PART. THEIR NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS CAR. A MOTOR MOUNT SHOULD NEVER GO OUT ON A CAR. THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE FOUND IN A JUNK YARD AFTER A CAR HAS LASTED ITS AVERAGE LIFE TIME. THERE NEEDS TO BE RECALL NOBODY SHOULD BE ON A NATIONWIDE WAITING LIST FOR THIS ESPECIALLY WHEN NOW I AM LOOKING AT HAVING POSSIBLE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS LATER ON DOWN THE ROAD. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS AND I WON'T GIVE UP UNTIL SOMETHING IS. *TR

IN MARCH OR SO OF 2011, WHILE DRIVING, ALL OF A SUDDEN MY HORN JUST GOES OFF FOR NO REASON WHATSOVER AND WOULD NOT STOP. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED THAT ITS A FACTORY PROBLEM WITH THE CLOCKSPRING. THIS PART HOWEVER IS ATTACHED TO THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY & TO REPLACE IT, THE ENTIRE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY MUST BE ALSO REPLACED WHICH IS OVER $600 JUST FOR THE PART & ANOTHER $1000 FOR LABOR. MY ONLY OPTION WAS TO COMPLETELY DISCONNECT THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY AS ITS THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE HORN. SO NOW I HAVE TO DRIVE THE CAR WITHOUT THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. THIS IS A DIRECT SAFETY DEFECT!! I SPOKE WITH A CHRYSLER REP & THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM WITH THAT YEARS MODEL, EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE SOOO MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE ALL OVER THE USA ABOUT IT... HOW CAN THIS NOT BE A SAFETY RECALL??? I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER!! *TR

WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT I PUT THE CAR IN PARK. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN THE SHIFT LEVER WOULD NOT LEAVE PARK. THE CAR BECAME AN INANIMATE OBSTACLE TO FLOW OF TRAFFIC THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. *TR

ON MY 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING WITH THE 2.4 LITRE ENGINE. IT IS A SEDAN. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SHAKING AND WHEN WE TOOK IN INTO A MECHANIC, HE FOUND THAT THE BRACKET BETWEEN THE FRONT MOTOR MOUNT TO THE ENGINE WAS BROKEN. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY WILL NOT BE MANUFACTURING THE PART UNTIL THE END OF JUNE. *TR

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

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

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND THE HORN WENT OFF ALL BY ITSELF. I QUICKLY PRESSED THE HORN IN RESPONSE AND IT WENT OFF. IT HAS CONTINUED TO DO THIS AND CONSIDERABLY GOTTEN WORSE. IT GOES OFF EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS NOT STARTED. WHEN I REMOVE THE FUSE IT STOPS...HOWEVER I CANNOT GET IT INSPECTED FOR FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE WITH THE FUSE OUT. *TR

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

BOUGHT THE 2006 SEBRING WITH 32,000 MILES ON IT, JUST BEFORE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. IT NOW HAS 62,000 MILES ON IT, AND IT LEAKING OIL PROFUSELY. I HAD MY MECHANICALLY INCLINED FATHER LOOK AT IT, AND IT APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE CRANKSHAFT. AS I HAVE BEEN LOOKING ONLINE, THIS APPEARS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES, AND WORSE YET, IF IT STARTS TO BECOME A PROBLEM BEFORE THE WARRANTY IS UP, DEALERS ARE SIMPLY REPLACING THE SEAL, ESSENTIALLY PUTTING A BAND-AID ON THE BIGGER ISSUE AND LEAVING THE EXPENSE UP TO THE CONSUMER TO DEAL WITH. AT THIS TIME I THINK I CAUGHT IT BEFORE IT GOT THE CHANCE TO LOCK MY ENGINE UP, I JUST THANK MY LUCKY STARS THAT I HAD TO DROP MY SON OFF TO SCHOOL ON A COLD DAY AND HAD LEFT THE ENGINE TO IDLE WHILE I WALKED HIM TO THE DOOR, AS THE ENGINE ONLY LEAKS WHILE RUNNING. HAD THIS NOT HAVE BEEN THE CASE, I WAS ABOUT TO TRAVEL TO A TOWN THAT TAKES OVER AN HOUR TO GET TO, TAKING A ROAD WITH VIRTUALLY NO GOOD PLACES TO STOP, AND MANY "DEAD-ZONES" WHICH WOULD HAVE MADE GETTING ASSISTANCE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AND WILL NOT BE CHOOSING CHRYSLER FOR ANY FUTURE VEHICLES, UNLESS THIS PROBLEM IS RECTIFIED.

I OWN A 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING, THE HORN GOES OFF ON ITS OWN AND I HAVE TO PULL THE FUSE TO GET IT TO STOP. THERE IS NO TSB OR RECALL FOR THIS BUT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM. *TR

HORN GOES OFF INTERMITTENTLY IN COLD WEATHER. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS AT APROX 3AM AND AGAIN AT 6AM. I'VE HAD TO START PULLING THE FUSE EVERY NIGHT. IT WILL ALSO RANDOMLY GO OFF WHILE DRIVING. NOT ONLY IS IT HUMILIATING BUT IT IS DANGEROUS. I WAS SHOCKED AND VERY DISAPPOINTED TO FIND ALL THE COMPLAINTS ON LINE BUT WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER THEY HAD RECEIVED NONE. PEOPLE, NOTHING CAN BE ADDRESSED IF YOU DON'T COMPLAIN TO THE SOURCE. PLEASE EVERYONE WITH THIS ISSUE CALL YOU CHRYSLER CANADA OR US AND MAKE A FORMAL COMPLAINT SO THIS ISSUE CAN BE PROPERLY ADDRESSED. I HAVE YET TO HAVE THE ISSUE DIAGNOSED BECAUSE IT HAS TO BE A COLD DAY AND THE FEW TIMES I'VE MADE APPOINTMENTS IT HAS WARMED UP IN BETWEEN. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 SEBRING WITH A 2.4L ENGINE THAT HAS HAD THE SEALS REPLACED TWICE AND IT STILL KEPT POURING OIL. MY ORIGINAL MECHANIC SAID THERE WAS NOTHING MORE HE COULD DO AND THE ENGINE SHOULD BE REPLACED. I WAS REFERRED TO ANTHER MECHANIC BY A FRIEND WHO DID A LOT MORE WORK IN TRYING TO FND OUT WHY THEY COULD NOT FIX THE OIL LEAK. HE FOUND OUT THAT THE 2005 AND 2006 ENGINES WERE MISSING A THRUST BEARING AND SO IT KEPT PUSHING THE CRANKSHAFT AGAINST THE TIMING BELT WHICH PUSHED OUT THE FRONT SEAL. CHRYSLER FIXED THE DESIGN BY ADDING A SECOND THRUST BEARING WITH A NEW REVISION TO THE ENGINE. AFTER 8 WEEKS AND $5500 OF REPAIR AND RENTAL BUILDS, I HAVE A NEW HALF BLOCK AND IT SEEMS TO BE FXED. I THINK CHRYSLER SHOULD HAVE PUT OUT A RECALL ON THESE MOTORS SINCE THERE WAS A DESIGN FLAW FIXED IN THE NEW VERSION OF THE 2.4L ENGINE AND SHORT BLOCK. IT IS NOT SAFE TO BE DRIVING A CAR LEAKING OIL NOR FAIR FOR CONSUMERS TO EAT THE COST OF THE REPAIR WHEN IT WAS AN ENGINE DESIGN ERROR. I AM PAYING CAR PAYMENTS ON TOP OF HAVING TO PAY FOR A CHRYSLER DESIGN FLAW. THANKS FOR ANY INFO YOU CAN GIVE. *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

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 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 SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY MORE FOR A PROBLEM THAT WE DIDN'T CREATE. *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 CONTINUE TO HAVE CHRONIC "RIM LEAKS" THAT BEGAN IN JULY 2009 RESULTING IN RANDOM FLAT TIRES. THE LOCAL TIRE SHOP REPAIRED AND RE-SEALED ALL 4 TIRES ON THE 1ST OCCURRENCE. A SINGLE TIRE THEN HAD THE SAME PROBLEM IN FEB '10, AND ANOTHER TIRE IN MAY '10. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM AS THE SITUATION IS ENTIRELY RANDOM AND HAS NO CONNECTION TO OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 36K MILES. *TR

EVERYTIME I APPLY MY BRAKES THE FRONT LEFT WHEEL STARTING SHAKING ALOT. *TR
