The turn signals stop working and could pose a safety hazard as to not being able to signal which direction you traveling to. So other drivers would not be able to know that your are making a turn and could result in a crash. This is a very common problem on many gm vehicles not just the Impala, such as grand am, monte carlo, Oldsmobile alero, and more. The problem is in the hazard switch relay which also controls the turn signals which is a defective part and prematurely fails. General motors should make a recall with how many vehicles have this problem and is a know issue on many of there cars.
On the 2001 Impala the turn signals work intermittently. There is no consistency on when the issue happens, it suddenly starts. What actually causes it is unknown.

The turn signals and brake lights quit working in my 2001 chevy Impala. After searching on line to see how to repair the problem I am finding that I am not the only person who is having or has had this issue happen to them. I am also finding out that it is because of a bad turn signal switch located on the steering column.
Turn signals intermittently fail to operate.
I own a 2001 Chevrolet Impala. When driving my blinkers will randomly stop working. I have to turn the hazard lights on and off several times to get my blinkers to start working again. I called a dealership and they quoted me $405 for a new switch. However, they were unable to install it because they are on a national back order. The dealership said this is a major issue as they install new switches constantly. After doing some research on the internet there seems to be thousands of people having this problem and there should be a recall for safety reasons. We should not have to pay $405 for our blinkers to work.
