I own a 2002 Chevrolet Corvette and have an issue with the electrical system that appears to be an issue that was investigated several years back on another vehicle. However, in doing internet research, it appears many Corvette owners have experienced the same problem whereby the turn signals work intermittently and sometimes not at all or just stop working after they have blinked for a few times. I see this as a very dangerous issue as the drivers around you determine their braking and driving skills on what they see and they may get a false sense of warning when the blinker goes out and I stop anyway to make the turn. I would think that I would be cited by law enforcement and this problem appears to be a defect in the design or the manufacturer of the part.

Dealer has found that communication is being lost between the steering sensor and computer. No reason why. Possible loose pin connection? all other equipment checks out ok.
