| 2008 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | 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. *TR |
