Has issues that are recalled on other 2000 malibu's. Blinkers stopped working on & off one day. Then stopped totally next day, changed fuse nothing helped. Doesn't even show on instrument panel. Car refuses to start at times, takes any where from 3-5 tries to start. Also had recall done on ignition, didn't help, i replaced whole ignition switch after the dealer 'fixed' it. Battery kepted on draining before that.

I was told there has already been a recall by the chevrolet representative. The recall was for the turn signals and hazard switch and both have been replaced by a previous owner at 70000 mi. Under the previous recall. I am now having the same problem at 172000…

My car was taken to the dealership and the switch was replaced. Unfortunately, this is a repeat and was not covered under the recall. The switches are still going bad and not covered. My instrument panel was destroyed internally when my switch was replaced and this…
