Turning the steering wheel to the right and turning on the signal for the right the horn beeped. Stopped immediately and didn't happen again for several days. Turn the signal on for a right turn the horn beeped longer. This didn't happen every time I used the signal and it is only on a right turn. Several days later I turned the lights on in fog and the horn sounded for several seconds and would not stop. It finally stops on its own. I parked in the parking lot and the horn continued to blow by itself for several seconds even after the lights and car was turned off. It continued to blow at intervals and I had to have the horn unhooked to stop the blowing. I have owned Jeeps for a very long time and would never have considered any other vehicle. I am now reconsidering this option. I do feel this is a defective part since in a very short time I have discovered two others just by talking about the problem to them. I am sure we are not the only three to have this issue. Thank you. Judy coomer I own three Jeeps, 1984, 1993 and 2005 and have never had this problem with either of the other two. I have spoken with two other people in the past several days experiencing the same issue with a 2007. I feel this is a defect in the manufacturing of this part and should be a recall by Jeep. The lights, airbag, wipers all are in the steering wheel column. I would like some advice from the manufacturer as to the solution for this issue.
