Dt the contact stated there was a loud ticking sound. First noticed this problem on November 24, 2002. Contact stated they received a recall for the hazard button. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer, and they did recall repairs, but dealer stated the loud ticking sound was from the turn signal area. As soon as starting the vehicle one could hear the ticking sound just as if had put turn signal on, but it was an even faster ticking sound. Contact contacted the manufacturer, they were of no assistance.
