    Turn signals on my 2001 chevy malibu stopped working. The bulbs aren't burned out so must be an electrical problem (i'm guessing) at first the signals would work for a few days then stop for a day but now its been 4 days and the signals don't work at all. Also the air conditioning system doesn't "blow" on levels 1-4 only on level 5.

    The turn signals stop working at times. You never know when you get into the car whether they will work or not. There must be something wrong with the flasher or something. I have seen other complaints about this on the malibu on the internet.*ak

    Turn signals on 2001 chevrolet malibu quit working at unpredictable times. Thru trial and error, discovered that by turning on hazard flashers and then off, that turn signals would then work. Contacted dealer, and was told " that is a common problem, most likely hazard switch". When next in for service, (june 17, 2003) had problem checked, and hazard switch was replaced, at a cost of $119.50. If this is a "common…

I then contacted phalen chevrolet who stated there have been multiple hazard switch failures causing this problem but no one knew why. This is a very dangerous condition for a lot of cars on the street to have , and may be a item that…
