4 Horn Assembly problem

Failure Date: 03/06/2012

This car is a lemon! I see other people's issues and I cannot believe this car hasn't been totally recalled and overhauled! every month since I got it ( my first used car!). . It was at rental company for 1 1/2 years then I was the sucker that bought it! the tie rods go once a year and mechanics 'all talk who Chrysler made them bad I guess" then the goodyear intregrity's hydroplane. . . . The suspension sounds like beverly hillbillies. . . I was told that the noises I hear are not the shocks I had replaced but are now the actual front arm controls of my car that are rotting away. . . Another thing is the engine "kicks in hard" when going into 2nd shift (automatic). . The horn is hard to press. . The front tires rub, you can hear then when turning even though I am up to date on rotors and pads. . . Let's see what else OH yes just paid $400 because the car started to overheat so when I was there getting that fixed I told them how my car has always had condensation on it in the winter. . I can chisel off the ice particles on the inside! they said I needed a whole new housing of some sorts fixed so they did that. . Hum what else? OH now the engine light is on and the car is chugging and jerking like I'm in a farmer's tractor! it's 10/2013 and I have 2 more years to go to pay. . . I have no more $$$ thanks Chrysler. . God bless America. . . 2 more to pay on this. . I should have stuck with Honda or go Toyota!.

5 Horn Assembly problem

Failure Date: 03/06/2009

Excessive effort is required to operate the horn. The driver must strike the horn pad cover with much stronger than typical force, and only in certain , very specific locations before the horn will sound. In a panic, a driver will likely not meet these location / force requirements and the horn will not sound, resulting in other drivers and pedestrians not receiving a warning. The Chrysler dealer has replaced the horn pad, but no improvement to the horns operation resulted. The dealer has informed me that they believe that horn system meets factory tolerances and specifications, and they will no nothing further.
