37 Horn Assembly problem of the 2010 Dodge Journey

Failure Date: 06/10/2019

The horn blows on its own at any time. It does not matter if I am driving or if the car is turned off. It does this at all hours of the day/night. Pushing the car alarm button or panic button does not stop it from blowing. I have my local mechanic check and he states the wiring is fine so the problem must be coming from the steering column area where you push to blow the horn. The only way to make it stop was to remove the two fuses for the horn.

41 Horn Assembly problem of the 2010 Dodge Journey

Failure Date: 05/03/2019

2010 Dodge Journey with 20k miles, horn goes off randomly, sitting in garage or driveway, idle, not running. Key fobs are on the kitchen counter. Horn beeps 1 - 3 times, not steady or uniform. I've had it at the dealership 5x, they can't find anything wrong and of course it doesn't happen there. They've replaced the wiring harness from door to dash on drivers side and put a heat shrink tube on a wire + diagnostics for $1,000. I find similar complaints on the web but no resolutions. The Dodge "star" team and their customer care line have not been able to help at all. (zeigler Dodge in downers grove, IL. ).

43 Horn Assembly problem of the 2009 Dodge Journey

Failure Date: 04/12/2019

Horn honks randomly by itself. Parked, middle of the night, or driving this is dangerous distracting for me and other drivers. Scary startles me and freaks my neighbors out! draining my battery too. Also a clicking sound when nothing on. I googled it and was shocked to find hundreds of others complaints. I called crysler they said to make a complaint here and if enough complaints a recall will be issued. I sure hope no one gets hurt or dies waiting for the manufacturer to correct the electrical problem they clearly know about but will not address unless they absolutely have to. What a shame consumers pay good money for such poor service. I knew I should have stayed with a GMC!.

59 Horn Assembly problem of the 2010 Dodge Journey

Failure Date: 09/25/2018

About a week ago my horn started going off while I was driving to work in the morning it was so out of the blue that I didn't even realize it was me right away, I was able to pull of the road, tapped the horn a couple of times thinking it might have just got stuck after a couple minutes it just stopped I thought it was just a one time freak incident so I paid it no mind until 4am this morning while it was parked in the driveway once again my horn just start going again for like 3 or 4 minutes then it would stopped and start again it did this about 4 times waking my neighbors. When the sun came up I was finally able to figure out which fuses to pull to disconnect the horn and while searching to find this out I saw that many other Dodge Journey owners have had the same problem. There need to be some kind of recall I can't drive without a horn thats a safety hazard but with the world we live in now I also can't have a horn just going off at any time in traffic some people might think you are blowing at them. This is a issue Dodge needs to address and fix.

62 Horn Assembly problem of the 2010 Dodge Journey

Failure Date: 08/01/2018

Horn has been going off randomly. It has gone off while sitting, locked and unlocked, parked in the driveway as well as in the garage. It has gone off in all types of weather, hot, cold and rain or shine. It has also gone off while driving. I have look for and not seen any lights or indicators flashing or going off while the horn was honking and have only been able to stop it by removing the fuses. I reinstall the fuses and it may go a day, a week or more before it does it again. Sam leman Chrysler Jeep ram fiat morton has been very helpful in trying to repair this issue but it is getting very costly. Recently tried to allow a relative to take a driving test to obtain their drivers license but the car will not pass the safety inspection without a horn. Driving without a horn is a safety issue and is an issue on numerous Chrysler cars and in my opinion Chrysler needs to resolve this issue. At this time I put the fuses in when we drive it hoping the horn will not go off while driving and then remove the fuses when we park it.

Failure Date: 07/30/2018

My 2010 Dodge joruneys horn goes off all on its own. When its parked, in the middle of the night and also when I am driving. Sometimes it will go on for a few minutes to where I have to pull the fuses to get it to stop. Also the car wont always start, I have to push the brake and put it in n in order to get it to start. There are times jm at a redlight or in traffic and it will just shut off and not turn back on. It clicks but will not start. Sometimes it takes multiple times to get it to start. Ive taken it to the shop to try to get all this fixed and they cant seem to find the cause of eaither problem. Its embarassing when your driving down the road and your horn starts beeping and people in front of you start getting mad. Also dangerous when it just shuts off and wont start back up.

64 Horn Assembly problem of the 2010 Dodge Journey

Failure Date: 07/23/2018

My vehicle's horn sounds intermittently while stationary, in motion and whether the engine is running or not. It sounds on city streets as well as highways. I had my vehicle in the dealership sevice 4 times for this issue. A repair was attempted to change the fusebox but that didn't resolve the issue. I took it back to the dealership after the failed repair and I was told they couldn't recreate the issue so there was no service they could provide. The blowing has created incidents of road rage while I was driving and on a separate incident startled a driver who was waiting for pedestrian to cross the street causing them to almost hit the pedestrian because my car strarted blowing violently at them. This issue is a risk to my and my family's safety. I contacted Chrysler service center and was also told the dealership had to be able to recreate the issue. It's a timing issue and the vehclie's malfunction is unpredictable. I need help resolving this safety hazzard. I have been told that warped clock springs may be the issue but it is unknown to me.

67 Horn Assembly problem of the 2009 Dodge Journey

Failure Date: 07/01/2018

Horn randomly sounds off while parked, while driving. Started July 2018. August 2018 took to a dealership, who could find nothing wrong. Also, wrote to Chrysler corporation noting the problem. Dealership said they never heard of the problem. Chrysler kept referring me to dealership. No help from either. I researched and found there is a huge problem with the tipm and can cause the problem I am having. As of September 15,2018, neither dealership nor Chrysler corp will listen to me about the tipm issue. I now drive with no horn (found out how to remove the fuses), causing a huge safety risk. I need help and no one will help with this prolem. Horn has sounded in parking lots causing people to get angry as they think I am honking at them or people have come running out from buildings to see what is happening, one time horn sounded as an elderly lady entered a crosswalk and it scared her horribly, it sounds while driving causing other drivers to become angry because they think I am honking at them. My car is unusable if I leave fuses in. . . Dangerous if I take fuses out.

68 Horn Assembly problem of the 2010 Dodge Journey

Failure Date: 06/25/2018

The horn blows by itself, while driving and while sitting in the garage unoccupied. It has shut off while driving in heavy traffic and I had to put it in neutral to restart it. The aur bag light has come on and apparently in the words of my mechanic "I can't find anything wrong with it". The air and heat stopped working in the back of the vehicle last year. The check engine light goes on and off. I've had it towed to the shop twice because it would not start, just to be told it cranked right up once at the shop and again "I can't find anything wrong with it". It doesn't accelerate like it's supposed to when taking off, jerks and lags, and once accelerated it continues to jerk and lag.
