“Horn goes off by itself. When I unlocked door with remote horn started to blow and would stop when steering wheel was pressed and then start up again for no reason. This is the second time first time was when I bought the car used fuse had been pulled. Airbag section with horn was replaced with used part. This worked well for 1 1/2 years now it is happening again.”

NHTSA complaint #10569313, filed 2014-03, 127,000 miles

“Horn started to sound when I was in a parking lot at low to no speed. It would not stop. I had to pull the fuse to disconnect. Dealer said entire horn with airbag assembly needed to be replaced. I was under warranty, but I noticed the repair ticket had a cost in the range of $700 to $1,000 to complete the job. I bet a lot of people just leave horn and airbag disconnected rather than pay that much money, especially if the car is older.”

“2006 Chrysler sebring horn-apparently there are many people with the same problem. Mine will not work when I need it, but it will go off about once very 3 days. I have given senior citizens virtual heart attacks, scared other drivers to death, and then just mad people mad since they can't figure out why I would just lay on my horn for 1 solid minute for no reason.”

I was not under warranty, but I noticed the repair ticket had a cost in the range of $700 to $1,000 to complete the job. I bet a lot of people just leave horn and airbag disconnected rather than pay that much money. I have seen many people complain about the same.”

NHTSA complaint #10722327, filed 2015-05, 73,500 miles

“I applied pressure to the steering wheel to activate the horn and the horn would not stop blaring after I removed my hand. The only way to get it to stop was to lean heavily on the steering wheel where the horn is. I was in heavy traffic with no place to pull over, so it was a very dangerous situation. Ultimately, I had to remove the fuse that controls the horn and incidentally the air bags, rendering both the horn and air bags inoperable.”
