Owner report 10454753 · 2012-04-10 (April 10, 2012)
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. *TR
