HORN RANDOMLY GOES OFF WHILE DRIVING OR PARKED

THE HORN BLOWS CONTINUOUSLY OUT OF NO WHERE. I HAVE CHANGED THE BATTERY ON THE VEHICLE AFTER I HAD ONE COMPLETELY DEAD. IT WAKES UP NEIGHBORS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. MY ALTERNATOR IS GOOD AND PROVIDES THE CORRECT AMPERAGE. IT HONKS WHEN STARTED, SITTING STILL AND OFF AND ALL THE TIME. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 6 MONTHS NOW.

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW SINCE I PUT AT LEAST 3-4 SETS OF BRAKES ON THIS CAR AND 2 SETS OF ROTORS A YEAR SINCE OWNING IT. I HAVE 56000 MILES ON MY CAR I KNOW THAT BRAKES AND ROTORS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY IT'S REGULAR MAINTENANCE ON A VEHICLE. BUT THIS IS OVER KILL. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP I BELIEVE THAT MY ANTI LOCK BRAKE PUMP ASSEMBLY IS OUT. I'VE REPLACE THE MASTER CYLINDER AND 2 BRAKE LINES I STILL HAVE NO PEDAL TO SPEAK OF. THE FIRST MONTH I OWNED THIS CAR THE BRAKES AND ROTORS WERE REPLACED BY BARRETH IN WASHINGTON, MO

THE CAR WILL NOT START

MY JOURNEY WAS WORKING FINE UNTIL A FEW MONTHS AGO, WHEN THE BATTERY SEEMINGLY DIED. I REPLACED IT (NO SMALL FEAT) AND ALL WAS GOOD FOR A BIT. NOW, EVERY THIRD DAY, I GO OUT AND THE CAR IS DEAD. THE BATTERY IS BRAND NEW, BUT THE CAR ACTS AS IF IT IS DEAD. I DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE LEAD, [PUT IT BACK ON, AND VOILA, IT STARTS AGAIN. THE BATTERY IS FINE. AT LEAST FOR A DAY, AND THE REPEATS...OVER AND OVER. I TOOK IT IN FOR THE RECALL ON THE STEERING COLUMN ELECTRICAL ISSUE AND IT LASTED FOR A WEEK AFTER THAT, AND THEN DEAD AGAIN. I SEE THE FORUMS THAT SAY LOTS AND LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM...HAS ANYONE ACTUALLY GOT IT FIXED IN WHICH IT HAS STAYED FIXED? SINCE DODGE REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM, WE ARE IN A BAD CATCH-22 IN WHICH THE DEALER CAN'T/WON'T FIX IT BECAUSE IF THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE, THEN THEY FEEL RESPONSIBLE FOR IT, WHICH THEY CAN'T /WON'T DO. SO I AM IN THE ENDLESS BACK-AND-FORTH WITH REPAIR PLACES, WHO I SUSPECT JUST DISCONNECT THE N

CAR WILL NOT TURN ON. ONE DAY IT URNS ON FINE NEXT DAY WONT TURN ON.

THE HEAT DOES NOT GET HOT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEN DRIVING ANYWHERE OR WHEN PARKED. THE HORN RANDOMLY GOES OFF WHEN I'M DRIVING ON THE STREET EXPRESSWAY AND ALSO WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED AND SHUTOFF. THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED OR WHILE DRIVING ON ALL ROADS. THE AIRBAG INDICATOR SOUND CHIMES CONTINUOUSLY WHILE I'M DRIVING ON ANY ROAD. I WENT TO DRIVE MY CAR LAST WEEK IN THE EXTREMELY COLD TEMPERATURE AND DISCOVERED I HAD NO POWER STEERING. I GOT OUT THE CAR AND ALSO DISCOVERED HUGE AMOUNTS OF POWER STEERING FLUID IN THE SNOW WHERE I WAS PARKED. IT WAS EVIDENT SOMETHING RUPTURED CAUSING THE MY VEHICLE TO LOSE ALL OF IT'S POWER STEERING FLUID. I'VE BEEN TOLD BY CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE THAT THESE RECALLS DO NOT EXIST FOR MY VEHICLE. I WANT SOMETHING TO BE DONE ABOUT THESE ISSUES ON MY VEHICLE. IT'S CLEAR THAT THE DODGE JOURNEY HAS DEFAULTS. THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE ISSUES. PLEASE ASSIST WITH THESE ISSUES. THANK YOU.
