Horn continuously blows. Pulled fuse to stop horn blowing and disabling the air bag.
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 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.
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.
2006 Chrysler Sebring convertible. Horn goes off intermittently for not reason and nothing will stop it. Horn doesn't work when I need it. Called Chrysler. No help at all. Told them that it's clearly an engineering problem and that they should check online to see that there are thousands of complaints. The (vice president) refused to listen to me, denied there was a problem and told me I was on my own. How do you start the recall process? there is no fix for it.
