I WAS BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY AND THE PASSENGER SIDE BALL JOINT CAME APART. THIS LET THE CONTROL ARM FALL IN TO THE RIM. BREAKING IT AND BLOWING OUT TIRE. ALSO DAMAGED CV AXLE AND PASSENGER SIDE FENDER. PRIOR TO THAT ABOUT 3 MONTHS BEFORE THE DRIVER SIDE BALL JOINT DID THE SAME THING. THIS TIME I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO TURN LEFT. ALSO DROPPED CONTROL ARM THROUGH THE RIM AND TIRE. THUS DAMAGING CV AXLE AND FENDER. AFTER THIS L CHECKED IN TO THIS AND SEEN THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS YEAR VEHICLE. AFTER CHECKING MY VIN# I SAW THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. AN PERHAPS MORE VEHICLES SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE LIST FOR RECALL.

ON 1/3/11 THE HORN MALFUNCTIONED WORSE THEN EVER. IT WAS LIKE THE HORN HAS A MIND OF IT'S OWN. IN THE PAST IT WAS ONLY WHEN I UNLOCKED IT AND THEN IT WOULD FINALLY STOP A FEW MINUTES LATER. BUT THEN I HONKED MY HORN AT SOMEONE COMING INTO MY LANE AND THE HORN WOULD NOT STOP. THEN IT WOULD DO A FEW SHORT HONKS AND THEN IT JUST STOPPED. I WENT TO RUN ERRANDS AND IT JUST KEPT HONKING AT ALL DIFFERENT TIMES. I TRIED HITTING THE HORN REALLY HARD BUT THAT DIDN'T ALWAYS WORK. THEN IT DIDN'T WORK WHEN I WANTED IT TO. I PULLED INTO THE DEALERSHIP, WITH IT HONKING, THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING, SAID THE FUSE WAS ALSO FOR THE STEERING COLUMN AND COULDN'T BE DISCONNECTED AND STILL BE DRIVE-ABLE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND CAN NOT BELIEVE HOW MANY PEOPLE WITH SEBRINGS FROM 2000-06 HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM WITHOUT ANY RESOLUTION AND THEIR HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL FROM CHRYSLER. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY SINCE I DON'T KNOW IF MY AIRBAG STILL WORKS. I HAD TO DISCONNECT THE HORN FUSE (

THE HORN GOES OFF AT ANYTIME THAT IT WANTS. UNABLE TO STOP IT UNLESS I PULL THE HORN RELAY. MY AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK. I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM IN CHEVY TAHOE AND I KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. IT IS THE CLOCK-SPRING AND I HAVE SEARCHED AND MADE CALLS TO EVERYONE AND I WILL NOT PAY $700-$1,000 FOR A SMALL PEACE OF PLASTIC WHICH FROM MOST OF THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS LIST IS ABOUT. FROM WHAT I UNDER STAND FROM THE DEALER THE PART THEY DO NOT MAKE ANYMORE AND THE CHEAPEST THAT I CAN FIND IT FOR IS$417.00. THAT IS A JOKE. CHRYSLER SHOULD DO A RECALL ON THIS BECAUSE IS YOUR AIRBAG IS NOT WORKING AND YOUR HORN GOING OFF WITH IT FEELS LIKE IT IT IS TO DANGEROUS FOR MYSELF AND FOR OTHER DRIVERS. THIS IS A BIG ISSUE AND SHOULD BE FIXED. THEY HAD THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE MINIVANS AND CARAVANS FROM 98-2000 AND THEY DID A RECALL ON THOSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HORN SOUNDED FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME AND WOULD NOT STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MORE THAN ONE REPAIR SHOP, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO INDICATED THAT THE AIR BAG MALFUNCTIONED, EXPANDED, INFLATED, AND CAUSED THE HORN TO SOUND AS THE WIRES FRACTURED INTERNALLY IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE DEALER REPLACED THE STEERING WHEEL TO ENSURE THE HORN AND AIR BAG WERE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

HORN GOES OFF BY ITSELF AND CONTINUES TO SOUND, UNTIL POUNDING ON THE STEERING WHEEL CENTER. DEALER SAYS IT IS A BAD HORN SWITCH WHICH IS INTEGRAL WITH THE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY, WHICH IS NOT A COVERED PART WITH EXTENDED WARRANTY AND COSTS >$750. THIS WOULD BE VERY UNSAFE IN A HIGH TRAFFIC SITUATIONS, OR BAD NEIGHBORHOODS. *TR

THE HORN JUST RANDOMLY GOES OFF. TO GET IT TO STOP I HAD TO PULL THE FUSE WHICH ALSO DISCONNECTS THE AIR BAG. AFTER READING ABOUT THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM BY HUNDREDS OF SEBRING OWNERS, I FEEL THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD REPLACE THE HORN AND AIR BAG (CHRYSLER MECHANIC TOLD ME IT WAS ALL ONE UNIT AND TO REPLACE IT WOULD BE OVER $700). THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, NOT ONLY FOR ME BUT FOR OTHERS ON THE ROAD. *TR

HORN BLOWS FOR NO APPARENT REASON. USUALLY OCCURS WHEN USING THE REMOTE TO UNLOCK DOORS BUT HAS HAPPENED WHEN JUST OPENING THE CAR DOOR. CONTINUES TO SOUND FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. OCCASIONALLY WILL STOP IF HOLDING HORN PAD DOWN ON STEERING WHEEL BUT THEN RESUMES WHEN PRESSURE IS RELEASED. SERVICE DEPARTMENT UNABLE TO REPLICATE. STATES IT IS PROBABLY A FAULTY HORN PAD WHICH IS CONNECTED TO AIR BAG ASSEMBLY SO ALL MUST BE REPLACED. VERY EXPENSIVE FIX! APPARENTLY THIS IS A FREQUENT PROBLEM WITH SEBRINGS FOR THIS YEAR. WHY NOT A RECALL? *TR

THE SEAT BELT LIGHT/ CHIME LIGHTS UP AND SOUNDS WHEN DRIVING, EVEN THOUGH THE SEAT BELT SEEMS TO BE SECURELY BUCKLED. WIGGLING THE SEAT BELT MAKES THE LIGHT GO OFF. THIS OCCURS AT LEAST ONCE PER DRIVE 90% OF THE TIME I DRIVE THE CAR. THIS CAUSES A DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING. *TT
