The horn on my 2005 sebring will randomly sound and will not stop until the steering wheel is beat upon or violently shaken up and down. The horn does not work on it's own as a safety feature. It will happen at any given time, while driving or sitting parked. In order to avoid this, the horn must be disconnected.

very interested much so shaken up.. I had no issue out of that tire or ball joint before and I am needing to know what I need to do to start my investigation... Me and my son are happy no one was injured too bad. *Tr
When I turn the steering wheel the steering wheel shakes really bad until I bring the steering back into regular position. The seat belt sign goes off continually after I'm buckled up, car engine shuts off while car is idling at a red light, car jumps while sitting at a red light.
Drivers seat moves when coming to stop, air bag light comes on and off and will stay on at times seat belt dont retract
As I drive my sebring, every dip, hole or crevasse my car hits(going 30 and up its dangerous) sends it way to the side, doesn't have an exact side either. Does it both ways. I believe it has something to do with my lower ball joints so possibly my control arms and I was told it was possible that this specific car had issues with the control arms. The way the car drives right now is seriously dangerous and I was just curious if this car did actually have a recall or a manufacturer defect.
My car shut down completely as I was driving, the steering wasn't working, I couldn't turn the wheels at all. The breaks would not work either, no matter how hard I pressed on the breaks the pedal would not move. Luckily I wasn't going fast or driving on the highway cause that would have killed me.
Airbag light on, horn and cruise control stopped working, found out its the clock spring, had trouble steering the car at one point, found that a part broke the clock spring and got lodged in the steering components, happened during a turn onto a street
