2006 Chrysler Sebring owner complaints

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 Chrysler sebring touring. While proceeding from a traffic signal at 15 MPH, the vehicle safety alarm system sounded without warning, and then deactivated. The failure occurred intermittently. The vehicle was in the process of being repaired for the failure. Updated 1/28/10 *cn the consumer stated when the vehicle was started, the alarm and horn would sound. Then it would start again while driving. Updated 02/03/10.*jb

Car pulled out in front and hit the horn, which did not work, and now comes on only intermittently, or even on its own. This seems to be a common problem with the sebrings and from blogs seems to be due to a faulty switch inside the airbag cover on the steering wheel. This is a terrible safety hazard and should have been recalled. *tr

I have a 2006 Chrysler sebring and the horn in my car keeps going off for no reason while I am driving and while its parked its getting to the point where I cannot even use my horn at all when I need it but it will go off when I don't a few moments later and it wont stop even when I hit it. *tr

I have a 2006 Chrysler sebring and the horn in my car keeps going off for no reason while I am driving and while its parked its getting to the point where I cannot even use my horn at all when I need it but it will go off when I don't a few moments later and it wont stop even when I hit it. *tr

Horn just goes off on its on no matter f the car's engine is running or not. It occures at least 2 to 3 times a day till I pulled the fuse. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 Chrysler sebring. The contact stated that while driving 45 MPH, the horn began to activate independently. The contact stated that the horn sounded for at least 20 minutes. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection but the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified and stated that the vehicle was not included in any recalls. The failure mileage was 138,728.

Horn goes off for no reason until fuse is pulled. Now that fuse is pulled I am driving around with no airbags. This has happened at least 4 times a week until I now go with the fuse out all the time. No safe driving around with out airbags!!!!! Please issue a recall on whatever is causing this issue and putting thousands of people at risk. (number of people based on internet forums and complaints!) *tr

With soooo many complaints about the horn issue located in the same spot as the airbag no one has put the pieces together about hows this may be caused by the airbag issue. The horn only has major issues when the humidity is high. This is the same reason the airbags are having issues and deploying with shrapnel. Can someone fight for the consumer here there is over 70 complaints about the horn which the component is shared with the airbag. This is occurring during high humidity maybe as a warning something is wrong with the component harnessing the horn and airbag????? Or the airbag pressure is triggering the horn before the pressure builds to deploy for no reason other than humid weather. *tr

We noticed at around 40,000 miles that the horn will just start honking by itself. If you drive down the street the horn honks. It does make for a very dangerous situation and should be recalled in my opinion. I don't know how many times I've almost been run over now because I can't use my horn. Only way to keep it from blowing whenever it wants to is to pull the fuse. Seems to happen more in colder weather, but have also been told that the problem also affects the airbags in the car. *tr

2006 Chrysler sebring horn just comes on intermittently. It will not go off and then just comes on again now and then. Why? Is this a recall and if so how can I get it fixed free? Car has 47,000km an di am in canada. *tr

However, the vehicle was not diagnosed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 50,000. The VIN was not available.

At the time of collision the airbags did not deploy correctly. The airbag seems to have burst at the seams and projectlies of debris and chemicals came from the air bag instead. I hit my head on the windshield and hit my chest on steering wheel. I was burned on my arms, hands and ribs/chest. I have pulmonary and neurological injury. as well as changes to my sight and hearing. My car filled with thick "smoke" that was hot and made us choke and gasp for air. We breathed in these chemicals. My two disabled children were also injured by the chemicals.

My horn goes off for no apparent reason. While driving down the road it goes off and to get it to stop I had to hold my hand lightly over the air bag and horn buttons on the steering wheel.

Turn signals, wipers and radio stopped working but intermittently.

This is part of complaint 11630942. The incident on Nov 25, 2024. These are two separate complaints which occurred in the same crash that resulted in serious injuries. In the event of the crash the seatbelt failed to restrain me. Allowing my head to collide into the windshield and my chest to forcefully hit the steering wheel. I have serious injuries to many body parts as result of this incident. The vehicle is available for inspection and I have photos and medical reports available upon request.

While driving I was hearing noise under car. Then front drivers wheel came off damaging car above the tire while I was driving on the street at about 35 miles. Car was towed in to firestone where they had to replace ball joint and arm. Among the maintenance after that I was then told on passengers side the lower control arm ball joint was about to fall off.

I have a 2006 sebring with a 2.4l engine that has had the seals replaced twice and it still kept pouring oil. My original mechanic said there was nothing more he could do and the engine should be replaced. I was referred to anther mechanic by a friend who did a lot more work in trying to fnd out why they could not fix the oil leak. He found out that the 2005 and 2006 engines were missing a thrust bearing and so it kept pushing the crankshaft against the timing belt which pushed out the front seal. Chrysler fixed the design by adding a second thrust bearing with a new revision to the engine. After 8 weeks and $5500 of repair and rental builds, I have a new half block and it seems to be fxed. I think Chrysler should have put out a recall on these motors since there was a design fla
