THE HORN ON THE CAR GOES OFF INTERMITTENTLY AND FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND WILL NOT GO STOP UNTIL IT'S DARN WELL WANTS TO. THIS IS A DANGEROUS TRAFFIC HAZARD, CAUSING OTHER DRIVE (AND THOSE IN THE SEBRING) TO SWERVE OR HIT THEIR BRAKES THINKING THAT THERE'S EITHER AN IMPENDING CRASH OR AN EMERGENCY ON THE ROAD, OR A CAR HAS GONE OUT OF CONTROL. IT'S AN ABSOLUTE DANGER TO ANY PEDESTRIANS. THERE ARE MANY SUCH COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ONLINE: SEE HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/CHRYSLER/SEBRING/2006/ELECTRICAL/HORN_GOES_OFF_BY_ITSELF.SHTML …

I PURCHASED MY SEBRING IN MAY OF 2007 & THE REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER CONTACT KEEPS BREAKING OFF FROM THE WINDOW AND THEREFORE DOESN'T HEAT THE REAR WINDOW FOR ICE REMOVAL. I DON'T REMEMBER EXACTLY WHEN THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS BUT IT WAS WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR OF PURCHASE. IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED 3 TIMES BY EITHER SOLDER OR GLUE. THIS WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. ON THE 3RD REPAIR MY REAR WINDOW SHATTERED ON 12/24/10 (I MIGHT ADD IT WAS SNOWING!). I CONTACTED MY INSURANCE COMPANY & WAS ADVISED TO BRING THE CAR TO A CAR REPAIR FACILITY (WHO MY INSU…

AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE DRIVING THE HORN BLOWS AND STAYS ON LIKE IT'S STUCK , IT WILL DO IT AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE PARKED OR LOCKING AND UNLOCKING THE DOORS . SOMETIMES YOU CAN BEAT ON THE CENTER OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT WILL GO OFF LIKE THEIR IS A SHORT IN THE ELECTRICAL WIRING OF THE HORN BUTTON .

IN MOST STATES THE HORN MUST WORK IN ORDER TO PASS A VEHICLE INSPECTION . I ALSO P…
