The truck's horn begins sounding for no apparent reason. It is totally unexpected and randomly occurs. The truck can be in park, forward or reverse. This is a very annoying problem. From what I've been reading it seems the manufacturer tried to idiot proof their vehicle. Is there some kind of recall or fix for this condition? thanks, wearing ear plugs in Ohio.

I believe NHTSA recall 05V46200 has problems. The dealership said that the horn honk only honks when your foot is off the brake and your door is open and you are in reverse. The horn honks at no particular time if found. Dealership could not get it to honk when they did all three requirements when I complained to them. Also the recall they sent out did not say the horn would honk. My and other vehicles are emergency vehicles and the horn honking at unknown times is not acceptable and on swat operations the trucks can not be used for fear of the horn going off. The dealership said that they can not take this recall off and they said the recall is mandatory by NHTSA and we are stuck with the recall. My problem is: 1. the recall should have said that the horn will now start honking once the recall was done. 2. the recall should work and the horn not go off at any time. 3. that Dodge should not say this is a NHTSA required recall and mandatory and the recall can not be taken off if that is true.
