ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING SEDAN. OVER THE PAST WEEK THE HORN MALFUNCTIONS WHERE IT WILL BLARE FOR 30-40 SECONDS WHILE IT IS PARKED AND UNTOUCHED. THIS ALSO HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AND I HAD TO PUNCH THE STEERING WHEEL A COUPLE TIMES FOR IT TO STOP. I HAD TO PULL OUT THE FUSE TODAY. WHY CHRYSLER DOESN'T RECALL THIS IS BEYOND ME. IT IS DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:HORN
2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING,HORN RANDOMLY GOES OFF EITHER WHILE VEHICLE ENGINE IS ON OR OFF....I TOOK OUT THE HORN FUSE AND NOW HAVE BEEN DRIVING UNSAFELY WITHOUT HORN AND APPARENTLY AIRBAGS.

IF I OR ANYONE ELSE GETS INJURED IN MY CAR DUE TO THIS MATTER THERE WILL BE A LAWSUIT AGAINST CHRYSLER, AND I AM NOT THE SUING TYPE, BUT I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW AND SHOULD HAVE THE ABILITY TO BE SAFE AND DUE TO THIS ISSUE, I CANNOT.
