I have a 1999 chevy Blazer with 89,000 miles and it seems the multi function switch is failing. My turn signal beeping does not turn off when I not using the turn signal. I heard this also will eventually cause a delay with the turn signal that could eventually be a safety issue.

The multifunction switch has malfunctioned and caused a ticking under the dashboard.

Signal switch located behind glove box clicks erratically - this is the 2 nd time since I have owned the vehicle that this has happened - the first time was a $400 repair bill. . . I think I will try to let it drive me absolutely crazy before replacing it this time.

After finding out my 2001 chevy Blazer had no brake lights the second time since new, this first went out & was replaced by avenue chevy, batavia on 11/7/2001 w/ only14,790 miles . And not imagining the problem could be the expensive entire turn signal unit again, I asked around, even guys at avenue chevy, batavia, ill. I purchased a brake switch part # 15128745 on 3/4/08 for $14. 09 & replaced NY unit but this did not fix the problem. I went back to avenue chevy and on 3/11/08 they replaced part # 26100937 multifunction switch for a total of $442. 79 ! ! !.

Vehicle is exhibiting problems with brake lights and hazard flashers, consistent with recall 01073. These issued have been intermittent, but in the past month have become constant. Chevrolet customer service has stated that this recall service was performed in 2002. This issue with lights has occurred since 2007, contact with chevy has been off and on since that point. Contacted chevy today 9/15/2008 because multi-function switch has now started to smoke when turn signals are used. This is obviously coming from the mfc which was supposedly repaired in 2002. Chevy has stated that recalls are a one-time fix and any further issues at any point is the liability of the customer. They are unwilling to provide any support for a resolution of a recall repair with was performed only 6 years ago. If this issue is unrelated to the 01073 recall, I am willing to pay for repairs out of my pocket, but I want chevy to initiate the diagnosis, instead they are telling me that they will provide no financial support whatsoever to even determine the cause of this error. I have stressed the importance of operating a vehicle with all safety features intact, and it is obvious that the same problem that 01073 addressed has recurred. I would like chevy to bear the costs of diagnosis, and costs of parts and labor for all repairs required to remedy the malfunctions relating to the hazard switch and/or mfc (multi-function turn signal switch).

My vehicle was recently purchased from a coworker with a known recall that was already fixed once and now is not functioning again. I called Chevrolet and they told me there is not much they could do since it was beyond the warranty ,I had it diagnosed at a dealership which cost me $85. 00 to tell me what I already knew but they would not fix it. This is failure that is known and I believe was not corrected the first time so I should not be responsible for the repair costs since it is a safety issue. The item is a 4 way switch.

The turn signal switch would not shut off and the consumer could still hear the clicking noise. The dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem. The heater was leaking, the windshield wiper were inoperative, the rear end had gone out and the 4 wheel drive was not working properly. A new switch was placed onto the transfer case and the differential assembly was removed and replaced.

While vehicle was parked a fire started in the turn signal switch. The consumer stated ever since the incident happened, the abs and brake light stay on. The dealer stated there was no problem with the brakes.

Consumer's vehicle experienced the same problem as stated in NHTSA recall 01v364000. Sport utility vehicles. The multi function switch could develop an open circuit condition that results in the stop lamps and the rear hazard lamps becoming inoperative. The center high mounted stop lamp and turn signal functions are not affected. Dealership indicated consumer's vehicle not included in the recall due to VIN.

The turn signal in the vehicle began clicking even when the switch was in the neutral (off) position several months ago, however, the turn signals appeared to work properly. A couple weeks ago, while sitting at a left turn light with the turn signal on, a white stream of smoke began coming out of the steering column in the vicinity of the turn signal level. I turned off the level, and the smoke stopped. No corrective action has been taken yet, but I am afraid a fire may start in the vehicle from this. It appears there is a service bulletin (# 01073) related to NHTSA item # 636517 that may be related or the same, but the dealer says no recall is open and will only charge to replace the part(s). This seems like a safety/fire related issue and I have read numerous cases online where other owners experience the constant clicking noise from the turn signal too.

The turn signal on our 1997 chevy Blazer just stopped working. When I called the shop to get an appointment I was told that that was a part that had been recalled but according to my VIN #, my truck was not included. I had to pay 594. 19, for a replacement parts and service. The part is called a multifunction switch, and the mechanic said that it shorted out. Now I have driven lots of cars and I have never heard of this switch going out. I also believe that if it shorted out that there is a design flaw and I should have been able to get my part replaced even if my VIN# didn't match. Basically if Chevrolet made a bad part it should replace all of them, not just pick and chose so that they can save money.

Both brake lights went out while driving. Contacted dealer. Vehicle suffered from same same problem as mentioned in recall 01 v 364 000. However, this vehicle was not covered under recall due to VIN.

Nhtsa recall 01 v 364 000/manufacturer's recall 01073 concerning multifunction switch: dealer: heritage Chevrolet inc. ; chester, va; phone# 804/248-6464 wants to inspect vehicle , not to replace the recall part. Feel free to provide any further information.

Consumer states almost rear ended when brake lights were inoperative. Third light works but other two work on and off. Dealer found multifunction switch is shorted out.

Multifunction switch has failed twice on a 2000 model chevy Blazer. The first time was at 33939 mileage in March 01. Was replaced under warrenty. This same multifuciton switch failed again in Dec. 01 at 48659 mileage. Had to file claim with extended warrenty, dealer told me the part was only good for 12months/12k milesage. I do not believe this switch should be malfunctioning at this interval and that I have to pay for the replacement. The brake lights no long work and there is no warning of this safty problem, someone had to stop me in traffic to tell me I had no brake lights. The dealer also informed me that many other chevy Blazers have been in with the same switch failure but no bullentins have been issued by gm. I do not want to have this happen again in another 15k miles or less. This is a real safty issue because you have no brake lights and have no way of knowing this.

Steering column started smoking through hazard button opening. Pulled into driveway and shut off ignition- smoking stopped. I determined that it was the turn signal switch that was smoking. Reported to gm via phone (1-800-222-1020) and was told that they couldnt/wouldnt do anything about it. Steering column could have easily caught fire if I hadnt stopped right away.

We have had so many problems with this vehicle. We can not get any satisfaction thru the dealer or Chevrolet. We first had a 1999 Blazer. We had so many problems with it they put us in a 2000 Blazer. We have had the same problems and more. On the 1999 Blazer we had to replace the multifunction switch. It went out and left my wife stranded. We had to replace all the door panels because of excessive noise. We had to rplace the overhead console. T 47,000 miles the rearend went out. N the 2000 Blazer they put us in ,we have had to replace the seat levers. At 34,000 miles the transmission went out. We ha to replace the multifunction switch on this vehicle too. The service manager at the Chevrolet place told us that anyone driving these vehicles will have to replace this switch. There were 5 other Blazers in the shop for the same problem when we took ours in. One of them only had 4,000 miles on it. Chevrolet knows this problems exsists but will not admit it for fear of a recall. This multifunction swich controls al your lights and ignition. It can fail and leave you stranded with no warnining. We have had no luck in dealing with Chevrolet. They told us to just keep bringing it in when something goes wrong with it. We didnt pay 27,000 dollars for a vehicle that we are afriad to drive. It now sits in our yard and we are not making the payments. Thay can come get the piece of junk. Its no wonder people are fed up with american car makers.

While driving multi-function switch malfunctioned, causing brake lights to go out. Spoke with dealer. Consumer stated this has happened twice within 2 months, consumer was informed that the part in the multi function switch is faulty, therefore causing it to go out.

To whom it may concern,I'm very upset and dissatisfied first of all the first day I purchased the 2001 Chevrolet Blazer I had it not even a week and people where noticing the drivers side must have been damaged at the factory,so I brought it back and phillips Chevrolet was shocked to see this also,and I am leasing this vehicle and definitely was going get blamed for something that was defected from the start. They where great the exchanged the vehicle for me and this is a lemon also I am very upset at the fact that this is 4times now that my fuel injectors have messed up and I have taken this vehicle 2 times to o'conner Chevrolet where they have replaced one and cleaned them both times. So then it happens for a third time so I take it to phillips where I bought it thinking the will take beeter care of there vehicle,they cleah 3 injectors 3 times they said and reset the codes, and told me to use shell gas so I did this and now exactly a month later my engine service light came on again3/29/02. Now im very upset to where I dont even want this vehicle. Also the multi-function switch has been replaced. So now you tell me should I be happy I dont think so. Icant afford to keep taking off from my job for this inconvience. What a joke.

I have a 1998 chevy Blazer 2-door s10. I have a problem w/ my turn signals. The turn signals work fine, but the clicking sound that goes w/ the turn signal is constantly clicking, it began when the truck only had about 35,000 miles on it, just after the warranty ended. I've replaced 2 different parts on it and it has still continued.
