Turn signals and hazard lights work only occasionally. There is no set time, event, or weather condition that makes them work, or stop working. Sometimes, they will work when I initially turn them on, and stop working before they should turn off.

My family's 2002 Chevy Malibu's turn signal flashers are intermitently failing. The problem began yesterday, 7 June 2006, and reoccured today, the 8th of June, 2006. I notice that NHTSA had a recall pending on this exact issue, but it appears to have been closed. Why, and what is NHTSA doing about the problem in lieu thereof?

My vehicle is a 2002 Malibu 1. exterior turn signal lights do not light up even thought the dash signal is indicating that they are blinking and dashboard turn signal lights do not light up at all 2. had no idea if I was signaling to other motorists my intention to turn - still do not know if signals are working 3. took the vehicle to Chevrolet service - they worked on it for hours charging me by the hour and could not identify the problem.

Turning signal don't work and hazard lights don't work. Can't rely on them in traffic. I had them on and was on the freeway and they went out as I was trying to change lanes. I am told the hazard switch is bad and will cost 100$ to fix. I notice on your web site that most of the complaints on this make, model, and year are the turning signals and hazard lights. I would like to know why there is no recall on something that is needed for safe driving. And if you can please push a recall for the safety of us drivers. Thank you
