1999 Malibu V6 with 70,000 miles. Turn signals have become erratic. I replaced the fuse, and it worked, but again at times, they don't work, and at times, they do. No real pattern.

I own a 2000 Chevrolet Malibu and I am having the same problems with my turn signals as many others are as well. GM had a recall on the 2000 Malibu but told me that my vehicle was not required to recieve a recall based on the VIN number but they would fix it for a fee. I think GM should fix mine since they already addressed the problem and it sounds sounds the same as the recall. I think this is a very serious problem that is very dangerous.

The turn signals / hazard flashers on my 2000 Chevrolet Malibu do not work properly. This is an important problem that could result in an accident. I reached my dealer who was helpful however they said they could not rectify this problem as the vehicle has not been recalled. I also saw an article in the 12/03 edition of consumer reports citing this issue. Please advise what is being done to correct this matter.

- Glenview, IL, USA

The turn signals and hazard flashers on my 2000 Chevy Malibu only work intermittently. Often times they will not work at all, or they will stop working in the middle of a turn. They will flash once or twice and quit working; in addition, they will work for a moment then quit working then begin working again. Also, rarest of all, they will work fine. There is a recall on the turn signals and hazard flashers for the same make, model, and year; however, GM has told me that it does not cover my vehicle. Obviously, the problem that I am experiencing is the same or similar to the problems experienced in covered vehicles (if, in fact, mine is not a covered vehicle). This has been happening for several months without an obvious cause. There are no conditions which made my car immune from this problem, but it happens less when I run the air conditioner.

When you go to turn on the turn signals they do not work. They will work one minute and not the next. At times you have to turn on the four way flashers to get the signal to work and at times this does not alway help. I have had several near rear end misses because of this. It's a safety hazard!

Turn signals continue to fail and so does the emergency flashers on a daily basis. They just don't come on at all or some times they come on and then flash once and then they stop very dangerous.

This will be the 4th time to take vehicle in for turn signal problems. I have to use my hazards to get my turn signal to work. Now neither one of them work. The first time I took it in they told me there was no way my hazards would make my turn signal work. This car is a piece of expensive junk. Not to mention the brakes have been replaced also.
