“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“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“I was just going down the road and the horn starting going off all by itself. Finally took out the fuse and went and bought a new fuse. That did not fix the problem. It went off when hitting unlock button on remote. Then took it to my mechanic and he said that the horn pad assembly which was a dealer only part had to be replaced. So right now I have just left the fuse out, because it is an expensive fix.this is a defect in the part and Chrysler should fix this issue. They say it will cost $1,000 for parts and labor. This is not the fault of what I did it is the fault of what they manufactured.”

Got out of car and tire was completely sideways and control arm on ground. Scary thing is we were 1 corner away from being on frwy going 60 MPH and if that would've happened I dont see us getting out of that alive. The car dead stopped when that happened. At 65 MPH that would have either flipped us or sent us flying thru windshield. …”
