Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Horn goes off for no reason until fuse is pulled. Now that fuse is pulled I am driving around with no airbags. This has happened at least 4 times a week until I now go with the fuse out all the time. No safe driving around with out airbags!!!!! Please issue a recall on whatever is causing this issue and putting thousands of people at risk. (number of people based on internet forums and complaints!)”
NHTSA complaint #10488799, filed 2012-12, 26,000 miles“Driving down the road when my horn suddenly started going off. Did not turn off until I beat on the steering wheel. Continues to do this every day now, scaring drivers around me and there is nothing I can do about it.”
NHTSA complaint #10563939, filed 2014-02, 100,000 miles“This is a safety issue not only for the driver of the car the others on the road with them! I was just going down the road and the horn starting going off all by itself. Finally took out the fuse. The horn just goes off randomly. It went off when hitting unlock button on remote and or just driving. Then took it to my mechanic and he said that the horn pad assembly which was a dealer only part had to be replaced some sensor or something. So right now I have just left the fuse out, because it is an expensive fix. $1000.00. …”
NHTSA complaint #10547953, filed 2013-10, 74,000 miles“Horn or alarm randomly goes off. Impossible to stop, it does so eventually on its own. This is on entry to the car, whether by key, key fob, or even opening trunk..and when driving at speed randomly. Is this not a serious safety issue? Did a dealer check and they could not find anything. No recalls, no problems from Chrysler...hard to believe since I see many complaints online that point to a horn pad assembly problem that costs $1000 to fix. This is a low mileage low used car, I am the second owner, the first being my father. Not a lot of horn blowing. …”
NHTSA complaint #10567766, filed 2014-03, 32,000 miles“Car alarm or horn will go off in the morning when its wet/damp whenever I unlock with clicker or manually with a key. It will go off for about 30 seconds then shut off. Only until recently did the horn start going off while driving in the morning for 20-30second spurts. This would happen on freeways and residential roads. Had to disconnect the horn relay which I understand is also associated with the airbag to stop the honking. I do not feel comfortable driving without an airbag but that is the only short-time solution I have. …”
