In owners' own words
The horn on my 2006 Chrysler sebring convertible randomly goes off when the vehicle is first started and when the vehicle is being driven. This causes a safety issue by distracting the driver of the vehicle and drivers of other vehicles. This is caused by a problem where the company logo that is mounted on the steering wheel nterferes with the horn pad in the sterring column. Electrical system · reported at 32,000 miles
Horn keeps going off by it self. I have checked other web sites and this is a well known issue with the sebring why isn't this on recall? I have been cut off on several occasions where a horn was needed I was ran off the road several times do to the other driver not looking in blind spots where as if I had a horn I could have used it instead of being ran off the road.
