Horn started beeping by itself, then stayed on continuously. Dealer said it was a defective airbag assembly. I called chrysler to complain and they agreed to pay all but $150 of the $607 bill. I don't know if this is part of the clockspring assembly problems or not. We have not noticed any problem with the airbag light or cruise control. Air bags · reported at 40,000 miles
