Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was driving at minimum speed to turn right and then I lost control of my steering wheel almost hit some cars and a pole but the sidewalk stopped the car from going anywhere I looked up online because I saw a recall that was related to my situation called dealership they said there was no recall for my car. Car is drivable like if nothing ever happened but I don't feel safe driving it.”
NHTSA complaint #10577561, filed 2014-04, 127,000 miles“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“2006 Chrysler Sebring. Horn goes off at will when I'm driving or when the car is just sitting there. When I really need the horn, it will either not honk at all or get stuck and keep honking for about 3 minutes. This has been happening on and off for over a year now.”
NHTSA complaint #10323010, filed 2010-03, 30,000 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. …”
