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. Sometimes, they work in the morning, sometimes in the afternoon, some times, when the engine is cold, and sometimes warmed up.

2000 Chevrolet Malibu. The contact stated the hazard warning signals and turn signals stopped working. First it was intermittent, and then they just stopped. The contact found a recall online.
