Owner report 10502047 · 2013-03-08 (March 8, 2013)
HORN STARTED GOING OFF BY ITSELF AND WOULD NOT STOP WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE A CRASH. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET IT TO STOP (HAVE TO TURN STEERING WHEEL AND CONTINUOUSLY PRESS HORN DOWN UNTIL STOPS). I'VE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME AND THINK THAT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL DUE TO NUMBER OF PEOPLE IMPACTED. *TR

SINCE PURCHASING VEHICLE IN 2006 THE HORN HAS BEEN GOING OFF BY ITSELF.. WHETHER DRIVING OR SITTING STATIONARY. I HAVE HAD TO BANG ON THE HORN PAD AREA TO GET IT TO STOP. AFTER YEARS OF HAVING TO DO THIS TO STOP THE BLARING HORN, IT NOW HAS A SHORT.. RUNS DOWN MY BATTERY BUT WILL NOT BLOW AT ALL. I HAVE HAD TO PULL THE FUSE TO SAVE MY BATTERY, HOWEVER, BECAUSE IT WILL NOT BLOW, I CANNOT GET AN INSPECTION STICKER.

Owner report 10549665 · 2013-10-27 (October 27, 2013)
HORN STARTS BLOWING SPONTANEOUSLY IN COLD WEATHER AND WILL NOT STOP UNTIL CAR IS WARMED UP. THIS PRESENTS A HAZARD TO OTHER DRIVERS AND IS A TRAFFIC VIOLATION. HORN SHARES A FUSE WITH THE FUEL PUMP, SO NO EASY WAY TO DISABLE IT AND DRIVE THE CAR, AND CAR WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION IF THE HORN IS UNPLUGGED. A WEB SEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR, BUT SINCE THE HORN SWITCH IS PART OF THE AIRBAG UNIT THE REPLACEMENT COST IS ALMOST $1000. *TR

A QUICK SEARCH ON THE INTERNET SHOWS MANY COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE. THE HORN BEING CONNECTED TO THE AIR BAG IN WHICH THE HORN IS DEFECTIVE MAKING THE AIR BAG USELESS. THIS IS NOT A RESULT OF WEAR ON THE CAR AND IS A RESULT OF A DEFECTIVE SWITCH CONNECTED TO THE AIR BAG. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO RECOGNIZE THE ISSUE. *JS |

Emerging complaint spikes
Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.
This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.
No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.
Equal-age model-year comparison
Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.
2005: 1 complaints · 2006: 1 complaints
| Model year | Through age 0 | Through age 1 | Through age 2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2005 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
| 2006 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
Date coverage across each selected cohort
| Year | Incident dates used | Filing date fallbacks | Excluded dates |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2005 | 11 | 0 | 0 |
| 2006 | 18 | 0 | 0 |
Incident date is preferred when valid and no later than filing; otherwise filing date is used. Model year approximates age. Equal observation time does not adjust for sales, distance driven or reporting delays. One complaint linked to multiple model years can appear in each cohort.
