While driving or sitting still the security alarm system (horn blows off & on) goes off. The only way to stop it is to pull over, get out of the car ,open fuse box and remove the small yellow fuse marked for the horn. Upon replacing the fuse I have driven as much as a day or up to (3) weeks before happening again. The vehicle is out of warranty so I took the car to (3) different repair facilities and they were unable to find a problem or solution. I contacted chrysler corporation and they said I would have to have a chrysler dealer run a diagnostic but that did not find the problem ($106.90) . They kept the car overnight and the next day called and said that I would need a horn module ($600.00) part and 2 1/2 hours labor ($320.00). I called to find a cost on a horn module but no parts store ever heard of it, even other dealers never heard of it. On a web site called carcomplaints.com it seems that a lot of us 2005 car owners are having the identical problem. Can a class action suit be presented to chrysler?

My vehicle was involved in an accident july 2010, damage was to the front driver's side. Upon picking up car I complained of an engine knock and axle noise. Geico determined this was not due to the accident. I was told to take my car back to where the axle was replaced in april 2010 by pep boys. While waiting to be seen by an adjuster from geico, my vehicle would not start. I then had my battery and starter replaced by pep boys. My vehicle still had engine knock which geico said was not cause by accident. I then had my car taken to a repair shop where they diagnosed an oil pump problem. They later determined before replacing the oil pump that there were metal shavings in oil pan. They inspected my engine block and determine that engine block was clean due to my use of synthetic oil, but was not operable. The warranty regarding this was not covered for this by chrysler.
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 chrysler sebring touring (n/a). The horn would suddenly sound off when the vehicle was turned off; the failure was intermittent.

I have had to disconnect the horn on my 2005 sebring, because it was going off anytime anywhere and it was causing huge problems for me. It just started for no reason one day. Does so randomly with no warning. It does this when I am parked or driving, makes no difference. It?s been doing this for months. The temporary fix was just to have it disconnected, but then I am left without a horn. The estimates to fix it are quite pricey. I have been informed that the horn is made with the wires too close. If you tap on it when it?s going off it will stop beeping. I can't believe this is not covered under warranty.... The horn is a safety feature of the car and if there is an electrical problem or whatever with it shouldn't there be a recall on this? I have spoken to chrysler and they have denied fixing this saying that my car is no longer covered under warranty since it is over 3 years old.
2005 chrysler sebring has problems with horn going off while driving or while parked in driveway. Can lead to road rage and/or unsafe driving conditions while trying to get horn to stop blowing. Widespread problem from postings on the internet of others experiencing the same problem.

The failure occurred spontaneously. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer. The technician was unable to locate the problem. The failure continued to occurr.

Safety hazard of driving on the interstate and the horn goes off scaring the driver next to you who could then run into you or run you off the road or they could run off the road themselves. This did not happen but I am worried it could...not only with my vehicle but anyone else driving one of these sebrings.
