Description of the problem | Vehicle cannot be locked without horn honking. Both dealer and chrysler have told me that uconnect 5. 0 system has no means of disconnect or reprogramming to eliminate horn honking when car is locked. Local p. D. And california highway patrol confirm that it is a violation for horn to honk - except in emergency or as alarm. See ca. Vehicle code section 27001 & 28085. " locking door indication is a violation of the law." my business requires 24 hour service. Neighbor has told me they will call police, (understandably), if my horn awakens their children again. Chrysler contact told me the uconnect specialist he spoke to has the same issue on his vehicle. Have made 3 contacts with dealer and 2 with chrysler whom say nothing can be done. It has been suggested that i, "remove the fuse each time you park - then lock the door." and if i forget to reinstall the fuse? Seems this is a common source of noise pollution and unfortunately, a manufactures issue. Dealer has been less than helpful. |
