“When you push the horn it will not turn off. I pulled the fuse out so that I would not have to deal with the horn having a mind of its own. My fix was to purchase a switch about $4-5 at the auto store and rewire the horn in on my own. It looks a little tacky, I put the switch under the turn signal, but it is far better than being in traffic or at a light and having the horn go off for 5 minutes. Straight. I never took it in but I am guessing it is an issue with the horn switch which is under the airbag. Expensive fix which is why Chrysler will never pay to fix the issue.”
NHTSA complaint #10789340, filed 2015-11, 63,185 miles“After fastening my driver side seat belt I started driving down the highway and all the sudden the seat belt light came on and then started chiming it distracted me to the point that I almost went off the road trying to refasten the belt to no avail now it chimes almost constantly and unless I hold pressure on the release side of the seat belt it won't shut off and every time I hit a bump or if I release the pressure I'm exerting on the belt connector it starts chiming again it is very dangerous because you constantly have to take your eyes and attention off the road to play with the seat…”
