Turn Signal
On 06-12-2005 my blinkers started working intermittantly. They may not work for a few minutes or for longer periods of time and with no warning. They don't work right away even if you restart the vehicle. I've saw this was a common problem with previous models. This is not a problem to be over looked especially if we travel. It is a danger in high traffic driving.
