Horn goes off intermittently in cold weather. The first time it happened was at aprox 3am and again at 6am. I've had to start pulling the fuse every night. It will also randomly go off while driving. Not only is it humiliating but it is dangerous. I was shocked and very disappointed to find all the complaints on line but when I called chrysler they had received none. People, nothing can be addressed if you don't complain to the source.
