The turn signals on my 2003 chevy malibu don't always work, i flip the switch and sometimes they blink and sometimes they don't. Sometimes they stop blinking before the turn is actually made. This is annoying and dangerous. I've had to miss turns because my turn signal wont come on and to avoid being rear ended i just keep going, there should be a recall for this! *tr

A few months ago my 2003 chevrolet malibu turn signals stopped working for no reason. Some days they work and some they don't. This is very dangerous if you have to make a turn and another vehicle is behind you. Also the front right side of the vehicle makes a creaking rubbing noise and a clunking noise. It's very irritating. *tr

I have a 2003 malibu sedan, and the alarm/horn has a defect. Last year we had a high power wind storm and my alarm blew for about 45 minutes (2 horns). They finally died down by themselves. My car was not hit by anything except for the high winds. I had to take fuse #43 out to make the horn stop blowing every time i started my car. My car need to pass inspection, but the dealership want to charge me $95.00 an hour,…
