What owners wrote

Could not use my horn and airbag did not deploy during an accident. The airbag and horn do not work because the fuse had to be taken out the fuse runs these functions. The fuse was taken out because the horn does not function properly which also means the airbag has a fifty, fifty chance of working with the fuse in. Because no investigation has been done on this function everyone on the road is at risk. Safety is an issue and this needs to have a recall. Stop making americans pay for lemons!!!

Reported at 74,000 miles, May 2012 Crash

I have a 2006 chrysler sebring for the last couple of months I have been having issues with my horn. If I press the horn sometimes it won't work and if it does it will continue to blare without me even touching it. Recently it started to just go off by itself whether the car is on or off, or I'm in it or not. It will start blaring when I drive sometimes and no amount of pushing the horn pad will stop it, it will stop when it wants to. Sometimes when I am in my house I hear my car beep the horn a couple of times.
