problem #1

Mar 062009

300

  • 5,838 miles
Excessive effort is required to operate the horn. The driver must strike the horn pad cover with much stronger than typical force, and only in certain, very specific locations before the horn will sound. In a panic, a driver will likely not meet these location / force requirements and the horn will not sound, resulting in other drivers and pedestrians not receiving a warning. The Chrysler dealer has replaced the horn pad, but no improvement to the horns operation resulted. The dealer has informed me that they believe that horn system meets factory tolerances and specifications, and they will no nothing further.
