10/07/2012 at 3:00pm on Sunday afternoon, the horn on the vehicle started blowing for no reason. It sounded like someone was trapped in the vehicle and trying to get attention. This went on for and finally stopped on its own just as it had started on its own. Nothing else happened for the few days. 10/13/2012 at 2:30 am on Sunday morning, the horn started to blow again in the same manner as before except I removed the fuses to get to stop. I took it to the Dodge dealership and was told they could find no problems. Two days later horn went off again I called the dealership and was told to bring it in. I was pulled over by the police.
