1 Turn Signal problem

Failure Date: 01/14/2010

On my 2001 Impala, the turn signals sometime fail to operate - I have found that I can turn on the emergency flashers and then disengage them to restart normal turn signals. Instrument lights also dim at times making it impossible to read speed or any other instruments - problems do not necessarily occur together but can and it does at times - random in problem occurrence I also have a gas gauge problem where it will read full when it is not and show different amounts. Now it is starting to shut off without warning it will however restart. But sometimes shutdown after a couple of restarts before it stays running. This has occurred over the past several months and appears to be getting worse; mileage approx 105,000.

3 Turn Signal problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2008

The turn signals/ hazard warning flashers work intermittently. The brake lights do not work when the turn signal is activated when they are not working. This is only on the side that the turn signal is turned to and this only occurs when the turn signals are not working. They seem to work better when it is cool and they seem to fail more often when it is warm or hot. Frequently the turn signals seem to work early in the day and they quit as the day gets warmer. There does not seem to be any other correlation to when they work. Some mornings they do not work and then after I park they might or might not work when the car is restarted. When the turn signals work normally there is no problem. When they do not work the brake light on the side that should be signaling quits working when the turn signals are activated but not working. When they are not working the brake lights do not work correctly if the turn signal is activated.

6 Turn Signal problem

Failure Date: 05/30/2007

I have a couple of problem with the 2001 Chevrolet Impala that I recently purchased used. As far as I know using carfax to check there have been no accidents or anything that would logically cause the problems. Several mechanics have told me they couldn't find any obvious previous damage. When driving the turn signals will work completely at random for a short amount of time. I did not get a traffic ticket or had an accident. I had no idea what fixed this problem. Also, the car will not start on occasion. Normally, if I waited 10 - 60 minutes and tried it again it will eventually start. Vehicle left me stranded for an unknown amount of time. I was told by my mechanic that it will cost about $400 to fix this problem ,and that only a Chevrolet dealer could do it.

11 Turn Signal problem

Failure Date: 06/19/2005

Turn signal failure. This has been happening for several months once in a while. Lately it is happening more often. If I turn off car and restart the turn signals work again for a while. Tonight while driving one hour home, I had to turn my car off and restart it 4 times so the turn signals would work again. I believe that this is a defect - my car only has 39,400 miles on it.

12 Turn Signal problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2004

My turn signals do not run properly. They work and sometimes they don't. The hazards work then they don't'. At times when you move the turn signals back and forth or you turn the hazards on and off, it might make the turn signals work ok, I haven't had any turn signals that work correctly for the past two years.

13 Turn Signal problem

Failure Date: 04/30/2004

Turn signal work intermittently. Dealership was notified of the problem.

14 Turn Signal problem

Failure Date: 03/26/2004

At least once a week the turn signals fail to work (ussually during rush hour of course). I have reported this to the dealer 3 times and they have been unable to get it to repeat this failure; and, thus, say it is very difficult to fix the problem if they can't see it happen. Last failure was 03/26/04. The car is still under warranty.

15 Turn Signal problem

Failure Date: 02/10/2004

The turn signals on my 2001 chevy Impala have a tendency to stop working randomly. In traffic this is very dangerous. This has been checked out and no problem could be found because the turn signal was working at the time.

16 Turn Signal problem

Turn signals worked intermittently. Took vehicle to dealer, and dealer did not know what caused the problem. Turn signals failed in both directions. To activate them, consumer would have to activate the hazard lights for a few seconds or cut the engine off.
