I own a 2001 Chevrolet Impala. When driving my blinkers will randomly stop working. I have to turn the hazard lights on and off several times to get my blinkers to start working again. I called a dealership and they quoted me $405 for a new switch. However, they were unable to install it because they are on a national back order. The dealership said this is a major issue as they install new switches constantly. After doing some research on the internet there seems to be thousands of people having this problem and there should be a recall for safety reasons. We should not have to pay $405 for our blinkers to work.

Turning signal failure. Problem is fixed temporarly when I tap on the hazard warning switch. I called up manufacturer told me there was a problem with the hazard warning switch but, they won't fix the problem unless I pay for it. This problem has almost caused a traffic accident.

Directional turn signals work intermittently. When I brought this up to the attention of my mechanic, he told me that he has done approx 6-8 for the same problem. Apparently, this appears to be a common issue with this vehicle and the repairs cost approx $150. The entire switch needs to be replaced.
