2006 Chrysler Sebring complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE HORN ERRONEOUSLY SOUNDED FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 MINUTES BEFORE SHUTTING OFF INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

THE SEBRING HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF IT. LEFT FRONT OF SEBRING HITTING THE RIGHT REAR BUMPER OF CAR IN FRONT OF IT. IMMEDIATELY STOPPING THE SEBRING AND THEN HAVING IT ROLL BACKWARDS INTO A DITCH. TOTALLY THE SEBRING. NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. INJURIES SUSTAINED BECAUSE OF AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING. WEATHER OUTSIDE WAS BELOW ZERO. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HORN SOUNDED INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT HAD TO REMOVE A FUSE TO STOP THE HORN FROM SOUNDING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL MECHANIC, WHO STATED THAT THE AIR BAG UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A LOUD METAL-ON-METAL SCRAPING SOUND WAS CONTINUOUSLY HEARD FROM OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO STATED THAT THE LOWER CONTROL ARM WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 09E056000 (SUSPENSION) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE VEHICLE WAS SCHEDULED FOR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

WHEN I UNLOCKED THE CAR REMOTELY, THE HORN SOUNDED CONTINUOUSLY FOR MORE THAN A FULL MINUTE. IT HAPPENED A SECOND TIME ABOUT A WEEK LATER, BUT CONTINUED ON AND OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES AFTER I DROVE A SHORT DISTANCE. I HAVE READ ONLINE OF MANY SIMILAR HAPPENINGS, AND IN MOST CASES, IT LOOKS LIKE A POSSIBLE REPAIR FOR ABOUT $1,000. MOST SEEM TO BE REMOVING A FUSE THAT ALSO DISABLES THE AIR BAG. IF THE AIR BAGS ARE LIFE SAVERS, DO WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR A DEATH FOR CHRYSLER AND THE GOVERNMENT TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. ...UPDATED 11-06-13 *BF

THE HORN STARTED BLOWING ON ITS OWN WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A LOCAL INTERSTATE. IT CAUSED THE CAR NEXT TO ME TO SWERVE THINKING I WAS BLOWING AT THEM. I ALSO GOT SEVERAL ANGRY LOOKS. THANKFULLY THE HORN EVENTUALLY (5 MINUTES) STOPPED & I DID NOT ENCOUNTER BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC. SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING AND SOMETIMES WHEN PARKED. I ALSO HAD A PROBLEM WHEN A CAR PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME AND THE HORN WOULD NOT BLOW WHEN PUSHED BUT DID START BLOWING A FEW SECONDS LATER AND WOULD NOT STOP. THIS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN THE HORN IS NEEDED & DOES NOT BLOW & IS ALSO A PROBLEM WHEN IT BLOWS WHEN IT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO. I CAN IMAGINE HOW I WOULD FEEL IF WHILE SITTING IN STOPPED TRAFFIC THE CAR BEHIND ME WOULD LAY ON THEIR HORN FOR SEVERAL MINUTES FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IF YOU REMOVE THE AIR BAG RELAY OR UNPLUG THE HORN WIRE THE HORN WILL STOP BLOWING. THIS OF COURSE WOULD LEAVE YOU WITHOUT A HORN, WHICH IS NOT A GOOD SITUATION. I HAVE ALSO BEEN TOLD BUT HAVE NOT CONFIRMED THAT BY UNPLUGGING THE HORN RELAY, IT MAKES THE DRIVERS AIRBAG INOPERATIVE (DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE). THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE IN THE HORN SWITCH LOCATED ON TOP OF THE AIR BAG. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY A CHRYSLER DEALER THAT THE ENTIRE AIR BAG NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IF THE HORN DOES NOT BLOW WHEN PUSHED OR BLOWS WHEN IT IS NOT PUSHED IT IS A REAL SAFETY CONCERN NOT TO MENTION IF YOU WERE IN A SERIOUS CRASH & THE HORN RELAY WAS REMOVED CA

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. I AGREE WITH ALL OF THE OTHER PEOPLE THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE FIXING THIS ISSUE. REMOVING THE FUSE HAS CAUSED THE AIR BAG FUNCTIONS TO BE UNKNOWN. REMOVING THE FUSE TO STOP THE HORN ALSO AFFECTS PART OF THE FUELING SYSTEM ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL (SAME FUSE). REMOVING THE FUSE HAS CAUSED US NOT TO BE ABLE TO USE OUR HORN INCASE SOMETHING RAN IN FRONT OF THE CAR OR TO ALARM OTHERS OF HARM. THE HORN IS A FUNCTION OF SAFETY AND WARNING. THIS IS STANDARD ON ALL CARS AS A PRECAUTION AND WARNING SYSTEM. THIS IS NOT A PART OF THE CAR THAT IS SPECIAL ORDERED, THESE COME STANDARD WITH ALL CARS. SO WHY IS CHRYSLER NOT PAYING FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE? YOUR COMPANY HAS BEEN RUN INTO THE GROUND WITH RECALLS AND SAFETY MEASURES NOT BEING TAKEN SERIOUSLY ENOUGH. TIME TO ACT ON THIS SITUATION; WITH OVER 70 COMPLAINTS THIS MUST NOT BE A WHIM. SAD PART IS THIS IS NOT THE ONLY ISSUE WITH THIS CAR THREE RECALLS ON IT AND THE DEALER SOLD THE CAR ANYWAY WITHOUT REPAIRING RECALLS. *TR

COULD NOT USE MY HORN AND AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY DURING AN ACCIDENT. THE AIRBAG AND HORN DO NOT WORK BECAUSE THE FUSE HAD TO BE TAKEN OUT THE FUSE RUNS THESE FUNCTIONS. THE FUSE WAS TAKEN OUT BECAUSE THE HORN DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY WHICH ALSO MEANS THE AIRBAG HAS A FIFTY, FIFTY CHANCE OF WORKING WITH THE FUSE IN. BECAUSE NO INVESTIGATION HAS BEEN DONE ON THIS FUNCTION EVERYONE ON THE ROAD IS AT RISK. SAFETY IS AN ISSUE AND THIS NEEDS TO HAVE A RECALL. STOP MAKING AMERICANS PAY FOR LEMONS!!! *TR

HORN WENT OFF WOULD NOT STOP ON CHRYSLER 2006 SEBRING. FUSE WAS PULLED TO STOP HORN DISABLED HORN & AIRBAG ACCORDING TO 3/4'S OF OTHERS REPORTS. PLEASE EXECUTE MANUFACTURER RECALL. *TR

AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS MY OWN INEPT USE OF THE HORN THAT I WAS NOT PRESSING IT RIGHT, BUT THE HORN WOULD NOT SOUND WHEN WARNING OTHER DRIVERS OF A DANGEROUS SITUATION SO I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT THE HORN WAS ACTUALLY DEFECTIVE. A CAR WAS TRAVELING THROUGH A RED LIGHT AND I NEEDED TO SOUND MY HORN TO WARN ON-COMING TRAFFIC THAT THERE WAS DANGER AND THE HORN WOULD NOT GO OFF AND THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. PERHAPS MY HORN MAY NOT HAVE PREVENTED THE ACCIDENT BUT IT WOULD HAVE HELPED. THE HORN SOMETIMES WORKED AND SOMETIMES DIDN'T BUT I JUST THOUGHT THAT I WAS ALWAYS PRESSING THE WRONG PLACE ON THE STEERING WHEEL. SINCE MAY 1, 2013, MY HORN JUST DECIDES TO SOUND AT ANY TIME. IT SEEMS TO BE MAKING UP FOR LOST TIME!?! IT NOT ONLY CAUSES ME TO PULL OVER IN HEAVY TRAFFIC BUT IT MAKES OTHER DRIVERS PULL OVER AS WELL. PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR DANGER WHEN THERE IS NONE. IT IS A REAL PROBLEM AND I KNOW OTHERS WITH MY MAKE AND MODEL HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THE HORN MUST BE FIXED FOR SAFETY ISSUES AND REQUIRES THE HORN AND AIRBAG TO BE REPLACED (MEGA EXPENSIVE). BUT, IF THEY REPLACE THE HORN WITH THE SAME ASSEMBLY, WHAT PREVENTS IT FROM BEING DEFECTIVE AGAIN? IS THE AIR-BAG PART OF THE PROBLEM, IF SO, IS IT DEFECTIVE TOO? THESE ARE QUESTIONS THAT THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT ANSWER. THE PART NEEDS TO BE REDESIGNED SO THAT THIS ISSUE DOES NOT POSE A PROBLEM AGAIN AFTER BEING FIXED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE HORN STARTED BLOWING BY ITSELF! THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE!!!!! I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS HAPPENING. I AM HANDICAPPED AND HAVE MY GRANDCHILDREN IN MY CAR. THIS IS SUCH A DISTRACTION TO MY NEIGHBORS AND TO OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. OTHER DRIVERS ARE DISTRACTED BY THE NOISE WHICH IS A SAFETY HAZARD! I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR 6 YRS AND HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. BUT IN DOING SOME RESEARCH THERE ARE MANY OTHER CARS LIKE MINE THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A GRAVE SITUATION WITH THIS HAPPENING. WHY ISN'T CHRYSLER DOING ANYTHING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IN THEIR CARS? WOULD CHRYSLERS UPPER ECHELON PUT THEIR FAMILIES IN THESE CARS AND SEND THEM OFF TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAYS WITH THE HORN RANDOMLY HONKING AND NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP IT WHILE DRIVING A VEHICLE? FUNNY HOW PEOPLE JUST CAN'T PUT THEMSELVES IN OTHER PEOPLES PLACES BECAUSE OF THEIR POMPOUSNESS AND NARCISSISM. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED YESTERDAY!!! I CAN PROMISE CHRYSLER, IF SOMETHING HAPPENS, TO ANYONE, BECAUSE OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY IN MY FAMILY, BECAUSE THEY WE NEGLIGENT IN FIXING THE HORN PROBLEM, I WILL SEE THEM IN COURT WITH A GOOD LAWYER!!!!!!!! THAT YOU CAN BET ON! *TR

OUT OF NO WHERE THE HORN JUST GOES OFF THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO REMOVE THE FUSE. IF YOU PLACE THE FUSE BACK IN, IT BLOWS THE FUSE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH WHEN THE HORN BEGAN TO OPERATE INADVERTENTLY FOR A BRIEF MOMENT AND THEN TURNED OFF INDEPENDENTLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION OR WHEN STATIONARY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE HORN GOES OFF BY ITSELF. WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED OR IT IS MOVING. THIS HAPPENS AT NIGHT AND IT DISTURBS MY NEIGHBORS. SOMETIMES IT STARTS BLOWING WHILE I'M DRIVING. THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. ON THE CARCOMPLAINTS.COM WEBSITE. THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND A CUSTOMER WAS TOLD IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE AIRBAG. A MECHANIC DISABLED THE AIRBAG, WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. THERE ARE 38 COMPLAINTS ON THE WEBSITE. ANY ELECTRICAL PROBLEM LIKE THIS CAN BE VERY HAZARDOUS TO THE PASSENGERS INSIDE THE VEHICLE. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE HORN BEGAN TO ACTIVATE INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HORN SOUNDED FOR AT LEAST 20 MINUTES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 138,728.

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!) *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRYING TO OPEN THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR, THE DOOR WOULD NOT REMAIN OPEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE DOOR CHECK FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 122,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

LIKE MANY OTHERS, I HAD TO PULL THE FUSE FOR MY HORN, DISABLING MY AIR BAG BECAUSE THE HORN KEPT GOING OFF. WHY HASN'T IT BEEN RECALLED? *TR

SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE LAST FEW MONTH THE HORN JUST RANDOMLY GOES OFF IN A LONG BLAST. IT WILL CONTINUE UNTIL YOU BEAT AND BANG ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND COLUMN. *TR

HORN STARTED GOING OFF BY ITSELF ON MY RIDE TO WORK ON A VERY COLD MORNING. HAS GONE ON SEVERAL OTHER TIMES SINCE WHILE DRIVING. HORN REMAINS ON FOR SEVERAL MINUTES EACH TIME UNTIL I CAN SAFELY PULL TO THE SIDE AND HIT THE HORN AREA OF THE STEARING WHEL WITH A HAMMER TO GET IT TO TURN OFF. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, THE HORN DOESNT WORK PROPERLY WHEN I NEED IT TO AND IT TURNS ON ON ITS OWN WHEN I DONT NEED IT TO CAUZING A DRIVING HAZARD FOR MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. FROM MY RESEARCH I HAVE SEEN THAT PULLING THE FUSE WILL ALSO DISABLE TO AIRBAG CREATING A DOUBLE SAFETY ISSUE. THIS SHOULD ABSOLUTELY BE RECALLED BY CHRYSLER AS THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON SAFETY ISSUE IN MANY OF THEIR MAKES, MODELS AND YEARS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS UNEXPECTEDLY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH. THE FAILURE HAD OCCURRED A TOTAL OF TWO TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE WAS NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

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. I ALSO UNDERSTAND TO FIX IT IS WELL OVER 1000 DOLLARS AND EVEN THEN IS NOT A PERMANENT FIX. *TR

PASSENGER DOOR MASTER SWITCH MALFUNCTION, DRIVER WINDOW ROLLED DOWN BY ITSELF DURING ICE STORM WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY WOULD NOT ROLL BACK UP. HAD TO PURCHASE AND REPLACE WITH NEW SWITCH. FAULTY REAR CAMBER IN BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT REAR WHEELS. BOTH LEANING INWARDS ABOUT 12 DEGREES, RUINED 2 NEW TIRES, HAD TO SPEND $670 FOR CAMBER KIT, AND $200 FOR (NEW) NEW TIRES. TRANSMISSION HERKY JERKY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HORN WOULD UNEXPECTEDLY SOUND WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AND WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 146,152.

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND THEN WHILE DRIVING, THE HORN WILL BEGIN TO BLARE (LIKE SOMEONE LAYING ON IT WITHOUT LETTING UP) FOR 30 SECONDS OR MORE. I INITIALLY TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC WHO COULD NOT REDUPLICATED THE ISSUE AND EVEN PERFORMED AN ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTIC TEST. ONE WEEK AFTER GETTING THE CAR BACK FROM THE MECHANIC WHO COULD NOT FIND THE ISSUE, THE HORN BLARED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AGAIN. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE, THIS MORNING, I WILL NEED TO DEACTIVATE THE HORN RELAY AGAIN. IF THE HORN GOES OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC WHICH IT HAS DONE TO ME BEFORE, IT CAN CAUSE CONFUSION AND ANGER. WITHOUT THE HORN, HOWEVER, I DO NOT HAVE THE MEANS TO ALERT ANOTHER DRIVER OF A POTENTIAL INCIDENT (EXAMPLE, ANOTHER DRIVER ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE LANES AND NOT REALIZING I AM IN LANE NEXT TO THEM). ALSO, I UNDERSTAND I AM NOT THE FIRST ONE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE. FROM OTHER COMPLAINANTS, I SEE THAT THE HORN IS TIED IN WITH THE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY IN THE STEERING WHEEL/COLUMN, SO APPARENTLY THE AIRBAG IS AFFILIATED IN THIS MALFUNCTION, AGAIN A SAFETY ISSUE AND VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR I CANNOT AFFORD TO MAKE. *TR

ON JULY 21ST I WAS HEADING HOME FROM WORK AND THE NOISE JUST OCCURRED AS SOON AS I WAS TURNING ONTO THE RAMP TO GET TO THE HIGHWAY. I INSTANTLY TOOK MY CAR TO FIRESTONE WHERE I ALWAYS TAKE MY CAR AND THEY DID A FULL INSPECTION AND REALIZED THAT MY BUSHING TO MY MOTOR MOUNT WENT OUT, MY MOTOR MOUNT WAS SHOT AND MY MOTOR MOUNT BRACKET WAS SHOT. THIS ISSUE IS VERY UNSAFE AND I CONTACTED BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU, CHRYSLER CORPORATION, CHRYSLER CEO AND CHAIRMAN, GOVERNOR RICK SNYDER, CONGRESSMAN BILL HUIZENGA, AND ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. THIS HAS BEEN A LONG TIME WITHOUT A CAR AND NO NORMAL HUMAN BEING CAN AFFORD SPENDING 600 DOLLARS A MONTH FOR A RENTAL CAR WHEN IT IS NOT THE CONSUMERS PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER DOESN'T MAKE A PART. THEIR NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS CAR. A MOTOR MOUNT SHOULD NEVER GO OUT ON A CAR. THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE FOUND IN A JUNK YARD AFTER A CAR HAS LASTED ITS AVERAGE LIFE TIME. THERE NEEDS TO BE RECALL NOBODY SHOULD BE ON A NATIONWIDE WAITING LIST FOR THIS ESPECIALLY WHEN NOW I AM LOOKING AT HAVING POSSIBLE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS LATER ON DOWN THE ROAD. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS AND I WON'T GIVE UP UNTIL SOMETHING IS. *TR

BOUGHT THE 2006 SEBRING WITH 32,000 MILES ON IT, JUST BEFORE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. IT NOW HAS 62,000 MILES ON IT, AND IT LEAKING OIL PROFUSELY. I HAD MY MECHANICALLY INCLINED FATHER LOOK AT IT, AND IT APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE CRANKSHAFT. AS I HAVE BEEN LOOKING ONLINE, THIS APPEARS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES, AND WORSE YET, IF IT STARTS TO BECOME A PROBLEM BEFORE THE WARRANTY IS UP, DEALERS ARE SIMPLY REPLACING THE SEAL, ESSENTIALLY PUTTING A BAND-AID ON THE BIGGER ISSUE AND LEAVING THE EXPENSE UP TO THE CONSUMER TO DEAL WITH. AT THIS TIME I THINK I CAUGHT IT BEFORE IT GOT THE CHANCE TO LOCK MY ENGINE UP, I JUST THANK MY LUCKY STARS THAT I HAD TO DROP MY SON OFF TO SCHOOL ON A COLD DAY AND HAD LEFT THE ENGINE TO IDLE WHILE I WALKED HIM TO THE DOOR, AS THE ENGINE ONLY LEAKS WHILE RUNNING. HAD THIS NOT HAVE BEEN THE CASE, I WAS ABOUT TO TRAVEL TO A TOWN THAT TAKES OVER AN HOUR TO GET TO, TAKING A ROAD WITH VIRTUALLY NO GOOD PLACES TO STOP, AND MANY "DEAD-ZONES" WHICH WOULD HAVE MADE GETTING ASSISTANCE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AND WILL NOT BE CHOOSING CHRYSLER FOR ANY FUTURE VEHICLES, UNLESS THIS PROBLEM IS RECTIFIED.

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

HORN STARTED GOING OFF WHEN THE CAR WAS PARKED IN DRIVE. THEN STARTED GOING OFF AS YOU DRIVE THE CAR. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO TAKE OUT THE FUSE, WHICH DISABLES THE AIRBAG IN THE STEERING WHEEL. BOTH OF THESE PROBLEMS ARE SAFETY ISSUES AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE AS IT SEEMS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE AIRBAG WOULD HAVE TO BEE REMOVED TO GET TO THE HORN CONTACTS AND THIS WILL COST UPWARDS OF $800. WE LIVE ON DISABILITY DUE TO CANCER AND CAN NOT AFFORD THIS COST. CAR WAS BOUGHT TO GET HUSBAND BACK AND FORTH TO CANCER TREATMENT. THERE ARE 61 COMPLAINTS THIS SAME PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET.

S10 DIRECT REPLY- LETTER TO DOT FROM RE COMPLAINT AGAINST CHRYSLER FINANCIAL AND AN ARTICLE FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES NEWSPAPER *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED SHE DID NOT TEST DRIVE THE VEHICLE WHEN SHE PURCHASED IT. SHE RETURNED THE VEHICLE WITHIN A FEW MINUTES BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS EXHIBITING A ROUGH RIDE AND IT CAUSED HER NECK PROBLEM TO FLARE. THE VEHICLE WAS LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID AND THE DOORS WERE RUSTING. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED THE HORN BEGAN TO BLOW ON ITS OWN AND TURNED OFF AFTER APPROXIMATELY TWENTY SECONDS. THE FAILURE OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES AND IT CONTINUES TO OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE TECHNICIAN REPAIRED THE FOREIGN RELAY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE 32,000.

I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING THAT I PURCHASED NEW AND THE HORN GOES OFF BY ITSELF ALL THE TIME. IT HAS GONE OFF WHEN I CLICK THE LOCK OR UNLOCK BUTTONS ON MY KEYLESS REMOTE, WHEN YOU OPEN OR CLOSE THE DOOR, DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, STARTING OR SHUTTING OFF THE VEHICLE, WHILE SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY. I CAN'T SEEM TO FIND ANYTHING IN PARTICULAR THAT WILL MAKE IT STOP. AFTER SOME INVESTIGATING I HAVE FOUND THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE SEBRINGS AND HAVE DISCOVERED THAT IT WILL COST APPROX. $1000 TO FIX IT. THE HORN IS ATTACHED TO THE AIRBAG IN THE STEERING COLUMN, SO THE AIRBAG HAS TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE ALSO DISCOVERED THAT IF YOU PULL THE HORN FUSE, WHICH MOST PEOPLE ARE DOING BECAUSE THEY CAN'T AFFORD THE REPAIR, IT WILL DISABLE THE AIR BAG. SO I FEEL THIS IS A VERY BAD SAFETY ISSUE. 1. THE HORN GOING OFF RANDOMLY AND NOT WORKING PROPERLY WHEN NEEDED. THE HORN HAS TO BE WORKING PROPERLY BEFORE YOUR CAR CAN PASS THE SAFETY INSPECTION 2. IF PEOPLE PULL THE HORN FUSE TO STOP IT FROM GOING OFF THEN THEIR AIR BAG WON'T WORK, WHICH ISN'T SAFE. I HAVE FOUND 27 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM ON YOUR WEBISTE ALONE. FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON OTHER WEBSITES. I FEEL THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD HAVE TO DO A RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. I CAN'T AFFORD THE $1000 SO HAVE PULLED MY HORN FUSE AND AM NOW DRIVING WITHOUT AN AIRBAG AND HORN. HOW SAFE IS THAT? *TR

HORN JUST GOES OFF ON ITS ON NO MATTER F THE CAR'S ENGINE IS RUNNING OR NOT. IT OCCURES AT LEAST 2 TO 3 TIMES A DAY TILL I PULLED THE FUSE. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 SEBRING WITH A 2.4L ENGINE THAT HAS HAD THE SEALS REPLACED TWICE AND IT STILL KEPT POURING OIL. MY ORIGINAL MECHANIC SAID THERE WAS NOTHING MORE HE COULD DO AND THE ENGINE SHOULD BE REPLACED. I WAS REFERRED TO ANTHER MECHANIC BY A FRIEND WHO DID A LOT MORE WORK IN TRYING TO FND OUT WHY THEY COULD NOT FIX THE OIL LEAK. HE FOUND OUT THAT THE 2005 AND 2006 ENGINES WERE MISSING A THRUST BEARING AND SO IT KEPT PUSHING THE CRANKSHAFT AGAINST THE TIMING BELT WHICH PUSHED OUT THE FRONT SEAL. CHRYSLER FIXED THE DESIGN BY ADDING A SECOND THRUST BEARING WITH A NEW REVISION TO THE ENGINE. AFTER 8 WEEKS AND $5500 OF REPAIR AND RENTAL BUILDS, I HAVE A NEW HALF BLOCK AND IT SEEMS TO BE FXED. I THINK CHRYSLER SHOULD HAVE PUT OUT A RECALL ON THESE MOTORS SINCE THERE WAS A DESIGN FLAW FIXED IN THE NEW VERSION OF THE 2.4L ENGINE AND SHORT BLOCK. IT IS NOT SAFE TO BE DRIVING A CAR LEAKING OIL NOR FAIR FOR CONSUMERS TO EAT THE COST OF THE REPAIR WHEN IT WAS AN ENGINE DESIGN ERROR. I AM PAYING CAR PAYMENTS ON TOP OF HAVING TO PAY FOR A CHRYSLER DESIGN FLAW. THANKS FOR ANY INFO YOU CAN GIVE. *TR

WE NOTICED AT AROUND 40,000 MILES THAT THE HORN WILL JUST START HONKING BY ITSELF. IF YOU DRIVE DOWN THE STREET THE HORN HONKS. IT DOES MAKE FOR A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND SHOULD BE RECALLED IN MY OPINION. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I'VE ALMOST BEEN RUN OVER NOW BECAUSE I CAN'T USE MY HORN. ONLY WAY TO KEEP IT FROM BLOWING WHENEVER IT WANTS TO IS TO PULL THE FUSE. SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE IN COLDER WEATHER, BUT HAVE ALSO BEEN TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM ALSO AFFECTS THE AIRBAGS IN THE CAR. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY HORN. IF I PRESS THE HORN SOMETIMES IT WON'T WORK AND IF IT DOES IT WILL CONTINUE TO BLARE WITHOUT ME EVEN TOUCHING IT. RECENTLY IT STARTED TO JUST GO OFF BY ITSELF WHETHER THE CAR IS ON OR OFF, OR I'M IN IT OR NOT. IT WILL START BLARING WHEN I DRIVE SOMETIMES AND NO AMOUNT OF PUSHING THE HORN PAD WILL STOP IT, IT WILL STOP WHEN IT WANTS TO. SOMETIMES WHEN I AM IN MY HOUSE I HEAR MY CAR BEEP THE HORN A COUPLE OF TIMES. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM B/C THIS STARTLES THE DRIVER AND OTHERS AROUND THEM, I BELIEVE THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND IF NOT COULD POTENTIALLY MAKE THE WRONG PERSON MAD AND RESULT IN ME GETTING HURT. THIS REALLY CONCERNS ME AND AFTER DOING MUCH RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND HONESTLY CHRYSLER SHOULD HAVE TO FIX THIS B/C ITS OBVIOUSLY NOT THE CONSUMERS FAULT. DO PEOPLE REALLY HAVE TO DIE OR SOMETHING FOR THIS TO BE VIEWED AS A PROBLEM AND FOR SOMEONE TO FIX IT? I REALLY HOPE NOT AND I REALLY HOPE IT GETS RESOLVED. WE ALL PAY ENOUGH MONEY FOR OUR CARS, WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY MORE FOR A PROBLEM THAT WE DIDN'T CREATE. *TR

I OWN A 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING, THE HORN GOES OFF ON ITS OWN AND I HAVE TO PULL THE FUSE TO GET IT TO STOP. THERE IS NO TSB OR RECALL FOR THIS BUT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM. *TR

2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING HORN-GOES OFF BLARING WITH OUT WARNING REGARDLESS IF CAR IS ON OR NOT. AT FIRST I COULD PRESS HARD ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO GET IT TO STOP, NOW I HAVE TO PULL FUSE TO CUT IT OFF. FINALLY JUST PULLED FUSE OUT PERM. DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY COULD DO NOTHING, AS IT DID NOT HAPPEN WHEN THEY HAD IT. ****THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AS IT COULD GIVE OTHER DRIVERS MIXED SIGNALS FROM YOU WHEN GOES OFF, CAUSES A MAJOR DISTRACTION FOR YOU AND OTHER DRIVERS OPERATING IN THE AREA AND MOST JUST PULL FUSE MAKING THE HORN INOPERABLE-GREAT SAFETY ISSUE AS A HORN IS A REQUIREMENT TO PASS INSPECTION IF ITS OPERATION WAS NOT IMPORTANT WOULD NOT BE ON INSPECTION STANDARD AND IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS IS DESIGN/PARTS ISSUE NOT ABUSE OF THE VEHICLE BY THE CONSUMER. NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED BEFORE AN ACCIDENT HAPPENS. *TR

EVERYTIME I APPLY MY BRAKES THE FRONT LEFT WHEEL STARTING SHAKING ALOT. *TR

I CONTINUE TO HAVE CHRONIC "RIM LEAKS" THAT BEGAN IN JULY 2009 RESULTING IN RANDOM FLAT TIRES. THE LOCAL TIRE SHOP REPAIRED AND RE-SEALED ALL 4 TIRES ON THE 1ST OCCURRENCE. A SINGLE TIRE THEN HAD THE SAME PROBLEM IN FEB '10, AND ANOTHER TIRE IN MAY '10. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM AS THE SITUATION IS ENTIRELY RANDOM AND HAS NO CONNECTION TO OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 36K MILES. *TR

OVER THE COURSE OF A YEAR THE HORN WOULD SOUND AT ANY TIME ON ITS OWN, WOULD NOT STOP WITHOUT EXTREME FORCE ON THE BUTTON; DEALERSHIP STATES A FULL AIRBAG ASSEMBLY HAS TO BE PURCHASED AT A COST OF OVER $600.00, BECAUSE THE HORN BUTTON IS ATTACHED TO THE AIRBAG. *TR

2006 SEBRING, ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE HORN GOING OFF BY ITSELF, MORE SO IN COLD WEATHER AND FOR AT LEAST A YEAR. WITH ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS THIS IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE A RECALL AS THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS IF YOU ARE IN TRAFFIC AND IT CONFUSES THE HORNS INTENT. HAVE COMPLAINED BUT HAVE GOTTEN THE BRUSH OFF FROM THE DEALER SAYING THEY COULD DO NOTHING UNTIL THEY HEARD THE HORN GO OFF. *TR

I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY 2006 CHYRSLER SEBRING. IT STARTED IN 2008 OR 2009 WHEN CAR RAN HOT ON THE INTERSTATE. I ADDED COOLANT BUT IT SEEMS TO EVAPORATE OR LEAK. I WENT INTO LANDERS DODGE FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND UPON INSPECTING THE VEHICLE THEY FOUND A LEAKAGE FROM WHAT THEY SAY IS CALLED A COOLANT INLET TUBE WHICH WILL COST ME OVER $400 TO REPAIR. I FEEL THAT WITH MY CAR BEING ONLY 2 OR 3 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME SHOULD NOT BE TAKING PLACE. I HAVE ALSO FOUND OTHERS THAT HAVE THE SAME VEHICLE TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM OR HAVING TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION IN 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRINGS. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW THE SITUATION CAN BE LOOKED INTO.

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.

AT AROUND 40K MILES THE HORN ON MY 2006 SEBRING STARTED TO GO OFF WITHOUT BEING PRESSED. AT FIRST IT MALFUNCTIONED WHEN I UNLOCKED THE CAR WITH THE KEYLESS REMOTE. THEN IT BEGIN DOING IT WHILE DRIVING. IT DOESN'T JUST BEEP THE HORN GETS STUCK SO I AM POUNDING ON MY STEERING WHEEL TRYING TO GET IT TO STOP. MY WIFE WAS PULLED OVER ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE THE POLICE THOUGHT SHE WAS DRIVING AGGRESSIVELY BLARING THE HORN AT EVERYONE. LUCKILY WHILE SHE WAS EXPLAINING TO THE OFFICER THE PROBLEM THE CAR HAS THE HORN WENT OFF AND HE SAW FOR HIMSELF THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS I JUST HAD THE MECHANIC UNHOOK THE HORN, WHICH IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD, BECAUSE HE GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE NEAR $1000.00 TO REPAIR IT. SO ITS BEEN OVER A YEAR AND ABOUT 20K MILES THAT I HAVE BEEN DRIVING A VEHICLE WITH NO HORN. MY CAR IS DUE FOR SAFETY INSPECTION ON APRIL 25TH AND IT DEFINITELY WONT PASS WITHOUT A HORN, AND $1000 IS WAY TOO MUCH TO PAY TO GET A HORN FIXED. HAD I KNOWN ABOUT THIS SITE A COUPLE YEARS AGO I WOULD HAVE POSTED A COMPLAINT THEN, BUT I GUESS BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING TOURING. WHILE PROCEEDING FROM A TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE SAFETY ALARM SYSTEM SOUNDED WITHOUT WARNING, AND THEN DEACTIVATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING REPAIRED FOR THE FAILURE. UPDATED 1/28/10 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE ALARM AND HORN WOULD SOUND. THEN IT WOULD START AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. UPDATED 02/03/10.*JB

I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING AND THE HORN IN MY CAR KEEPS GOING OFF FOR NO REASON WHILE I AM DRIVING AND WHILE ITS PARKED ITS GETTING TO THE POINT WHERE I CANNOT EVEN USE MY HORN AT ALL WHEN I NEED IT BUT IT WILL GO OFF WHEN I DON'T A FEW MOMENTS LATER AND IT WONT STOP EVEN WHEN I HIT IT. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING AND THE HORN IN MY CAR KEEPS GOING OFF FOR NO REASON WHILE I AM DRIVING AND WHILE ITS PARKED ITS GETTING TO THE POINT WHERE I CANNOT EVEN USE MY HORN AT ALL WHEN I NEED IT BUT IT WILL GO OFF WHEN I DON'T A FEW MOMENTS LATER AND IT WONT STOP EVEN WHEN I HIT IT. *TR

LOW POWER WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. I WAS TOLD MY CAR WAS GETTING TOO MUCH FUEL. I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE SHOP BECAUSE OF WATER IN MY BACK FLOOR BOARD AND ASKED THEM TO CHECK OUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON AND THAT WHEN HOOKED TO THE A READOUT METER THAT THEY COULD FIND NOTHING OTHER THAN 1 TIME ABOUT MISFIRING. WHEN THEY DID SOME RATHER EXPENSIVE TESTS, I WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR IS GETTING TOO MUCH FUEL. IT FEELS LIKE IT JUST KIND OF BOGS DOWN AT TIMES WHEN TRYING TO INCREASE THE SPEED...YOU PUSH THE GAS PEDAL AND IT JUST DOESN'T WANT TO INCREASE THE SPEED. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THIS CAR IS MADE TO GO FAST AND THAT IT DOESN'T LIKE GOING SLOW. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING. WHEN THE CONTACT STARTED THE IGNITION, THERE WAS A LOW POWER RESPONSE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE (MIL) MALFUNCTION INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, WHICH REMAINED LIT UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE CONTROL SENSOR WIRING WAS CHEWED UP, POSSIBLY BY MICE OR SQUIRRELS. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE SERVICE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON A SEPARATE OCCASION. THROUGH RESEARCH, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE SENSOR WIRING WAS MADE FROM A SOY BASE PRODUCT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 20,000.
