| 2006 | COMMUNICATIONS:HORN ASSEMBLY | I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING THAT I PURCHASED NEW AND THE HORN GOES OFF BY ITSELF ALL THE TIME. IT HAS GONE OFF WHEN I CLICK THE LOCK OR UNLOCK BUTTONS ON MY KEYLESS REMOTE, WHEN YOU OPEN OR CLOSE THE DOOR, DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, STARTING OR SHUTTING OFF THE VEHICLE, WHILE SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY. I CAN'T SEEM TO FIND ANYTHING IN PARTICULAR THAT WILL MAKE IT STOP. AFTER SOME INVESTIGATING I HAVE FOUND THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE SEBRINGS AND HAVE DISCOVERED THAT IT WILL COST APPROX. $1000 TO FIX IT. THE HORN IS ATTACHED TO THE AIRBAG IN THE STEERING COLUMN, SO THE AIRBAG HAS TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE ALSO DISCOVERED THAT IF YOU PULL THE HORN FUSE, WHICH MOST PEOPLE ARE DOING BECAUSE THEY CAN'T AFFORD THE REPAIR, IT WILL DISABLE THE AIR BAG. SO I FEEL THIS IS A VERY BAD SAFETY ISSUE. 1. THE HORN GOING OFF RANDOMLY AND NOT WORKING PROPERLY WHEN NEEDED. THE HORN HAS TO BE WORKING PROPERLY BEFORE YOUR CAR CAN PASS THE SAFETY INSPECTION 2. IF PEOPLE PULL THE HORN FUSE TO STOP IT FROM GOING OFF THEN THEIR AIR BAG WON'T WORK, WHICH ISN'T SAFE. I HAVE FOUND 27 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM ON YOUR WEBISTE ALONE. FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON OTHER WEBSITES. I FEEL THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD HAVE TO DO A RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. I CAN'T AFFORD THE $1000 SO HAVE PULLED MY HORN FUSE AND AM NOW DRIVING WITHOUT AN AIRBAG AND HORN. HOW SAFE IS THAT? *TR |
| 2003 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK | WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE LOST POWER WHICH CAUSED INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS NOT TO FUNCTION. ALSO, DRIVER NOTICED THAT WHEN TAPPING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL BRAKES LOCKED, CAUSING VEHICLE TO COME TO A SUDDEN STOP. DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE OR DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. *AK |
