Horn Assembly problems of the 2008 Chrysler Sebring

3 seperate but related events. My horn began honking at random times, eventually I could not turn it off while in my parking garage at work. Ended up removing battery connection to stop the honking. When I arrived home I disconnected the horns. My wipers randomly do not work. I've had to rely on rainx. Sometimes they work and other times I cant turn them off. They sometimes stop in the middle of the window. Last issue was complete loss of power while driving at 70mph. Luckily I was able to pull over. Strange thing was it started right back up. But 10 miles later the same thing happened. Based on these 3 things happening within the last month I think it is part of the tipm module. Many complaints and this item is part of a class action law suit and a voluntary recall for other Chrysler vehicle in the same year range as my vehicle.

Horn stared going off on its own, while driving or just sitting, then the transmission started lagging, rpms drop while I'm driving and am unable to get back up to speed for a minute. I drive on the interstate daily for work and both of these are a huge hazard for me and other drivers. I assume the problems are related being as they both went crazy at the same time. While driving on the interstate to work my car just sort of died without dieing the rpms dropped and the car tried to die but diidnt. The gas ped stopped working while this was occuring and I was unable to get back up to speed. It eventually kicked out of it but did it again the following week, driving out of my parking lot at work rpms dropped and was unable to use my gas ped. I gotit again to get out of it but all its going to take is this happening and a car behind me and and accident will happen.

I was driving home from work and the horn began chirping randomly over the course of about 30 minutes. After 30 minutes of random "chirps" the horn engaged and did not stop. This was while I was driving down the interstate. I pulled off the road and turned the car off. The horn still blew. I opened up the engine compartment and tapped the fuse box/relays and the horn stopped. I've read online that multiple others have had this issue and I would like the NHTSA to investigate. This poses a significant safety risk for myself and those around me. Also, the horn no longer works from the steering wheel when depressed.

Tl-the contact owns a 2008 Chrysler Sebring. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 mph the horn started sounding on its own. The ppms warning indicator illuminated then the vehicle stalled. The contact coasted to the side of the road and waited 10 minutes minutes then restarted the vehicle. The horn started again after few minutes. The vehicle was driven to the house. The vehicle was kept in the garage for couple of months. The vehicle was driven to the dealer landers Chrysler/Dodge in south haven mississippi that dianosed it as having a tpms failure needing replacement. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 94,000.

Horn and passenger side low beam went out on my 4-cyl. 2. 4l 2008 Chrysler Sebring sedan about a month ago. I replaced the bulb, which is labor intensive on this car in itself and the low beam still did not work. I tested the new bulb and it worked fine. I moved the bulb to the drivers side headlamp and it worked fine. The harness for the bulb connector carries a 12v current but still the low beam does not work. Every online search points to a faulty tipm(totally integrated power module). I can't afford a new one at $595 and that's if I replace it myself. I'm unable to find a compatible used part at salvage yards in the area and Chrysler dealer says there is currently a month long national backorder on the part and is unsure if I'll have a replacement in a month. This alone should be a red flag that there is an underlying issue at Chrysler. In the mean time I continue to search salvage yards and am looking for a way to bypass the tipm to get the headlamp working, which in itself could still leave me open to other failures on the tipm. All this said, I'm wondering if other electrical components will start to go soon as well. As it is I'm having a problem with the horn, which I believe also runs through the tipm.

The dealer insisted that the random horn blowing was coming from a defective tipm rather than a problem behind the airbag within the steering wheel which is where many complaints about this problem have detected the cause. The car horn blows whether it is stationary or moving. Mechanic would not consider the possibility of removing the steering wheel cap to determine whether it was really coming from within the steering wheel or not. It was just easier for them and more expensive for me to state that the random horn blowing came from the tipm. I ran out of there like a bat out of hell after paying $280 for the diagnostic work! meanwhile, now I have to drive the car without a horn which is a safety hazard.

This car has a faulty totally integrated power module (tipm). This caused several problems including: the car stalling suddenly while driving at about 50 mph on a straight road, the horn going off intermittently and uncontrollably both while the vehicle was stationary and while it was moving, and a check engine light that would not clear. I replaced the faulty tipm at my own expense and it resolved all these problems. Chrysler has issued recalls for tipms, but they have never recalled the 2008 Sebring. I have the original, faulty tipm out of the Chrysler that I can send for testing and verification.

My 2008 chyrsler seabring engine stop on highway and steering wheel lock. The reason why is a chyrsler defected part (tipm) which is total intergrated power module. Chyrsler have a lawsuit on them about this problem. My car is at the dealer for repair. Cost $1100. 00 which I have to pay. This problem should be fix for free under recall. Also horn blowing, door window moving , trunk opening,interior light not coming on. It would help I you could contact the dealer concerning my issue.

I first noticed the light in the analog click go out, then the light in the shifter and overhead lamp. Most importantly is my power locks stopped working. I purchased a 5 batteries for my remote key and when that didn't work I purchased a new set of keys. The horn and lights would sound but the locks would not lock. I have to manually lock my doors and I'm unable to access my trunk unless I crawl in from the back seat and hit the release. I've had several people look over my car and I no one can figure this out. I finally started researching and I see several recalls but because my car was not built in a certain time and location I'm not qualified for the recalls unless I pay out of my own pocket. I can't even trade it in and get a good enough price due to these malfunctions. I will by no means trust Chrysler or Dodge vehicles.

Went out to car to go to the store unlocked my car with my remote and horn started sounding for no reason. Tried to press unlock/lock with remote horn still sounding. At that point I got back in my car tried shutting the doors and starting the vehicle alarm still sounding. After about 10 minutes I kept messing with the remote trying to shut off the horn finally the horn stopped. After a huge embarrassment and several by-standers trying to assist me in shutting the horn off I had to leave my car unlocked while I went into the grocery store. Quickly raced through the store got what I needed went back out to my vehicle started the engine horn continuously went off as I drove home. This is continually happening to me as I drive my car. I feel that this is a safety issue that Chrysler needs to repair free of charge.
