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…

There is a recall on the turn signals and hazard flashers for the…

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!*ak

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.*ak

The brakes don't stop properly. The brakes have been changed 3 times. The rotors have been turned once and changed once. The blinkers don't work 95% of the time and the emergency flashers never work properly. The ac settings change on their own as you are driving the car. This causes the compressor to turn on and off, eventually causing premature compressor failure. The vehicle has died 4 times as we were driving…
