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.

I purchased from valley Ford 4/18/2009 I have had nothing but trouble with it ever since I purchased it. I have had rocker arms replaced, pins, the aftermarket warranty company wouldn't replace them because they told me that it was not an internal problem, I have had pass lock problems which I had to get done, I just replaced the transmission in 2012 the computer on the car read that it was shift solenoids when it turned out to be the transmission. Now as of the past three months my low beam head lamps will not come on . The day time running lamps work but when it gets dark they shut off & the parking lamps stay on. The only way I will be able to drive is to hold the turn signal towards me, its not the bulbs they have been replaced & its not the fuses and no one seems to know what the problem. My cruise control light flashes on and off while im driving & while the switch is off & also my check engine light flashes on & off but when I take it to auto part store to have it hooked up to the machine it doesn't read anything. . . . . I ask that you guys can please help me with this car, & I also have proof of everything I just wrote receipts and all.

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. Sometimes pushing the hazard button several times will correct the issue temporarily. The only way to fix this issue is to $400+ to replace the switch on a well known issue affecting 1000's of Impala owners over many years of the design.

2004 Chevrolet Impala 3. 4l v6, 70,000 miles. Right turn signal intermittent failure started occurring at around 65,000 miles - interior dash turn signal indicator blinks rapidly but the actual turn signal does not flash at all. I checked all lamps and fuses then replaced the hazard switch as suggested by some car forums but the problem remains!.

Turn signals inop (intermittent/ frequent) - wiggling hazard switch makes them function for awhile. Found defective oem switch.

I have a 2000 chevy Impala and the turn signals flasher stops working every now and then and I found many other complaints online about the same problem. I have to push the hazard switch a few times to get the signals to start working again. It is very hard to tell when the signals stop flashing because the light still comes on and turning without a signal is not only going to get me a ticket but it's dangerous. I also read that chevy had to do a recall on the same type of problem on the malibu but have not issued a recall on the Impala.

Just recently my 2000 Impala began to give me problems when I used my blinkers. It first began when I just used the left turn signal, all of my warning lights on the cluster came on and the alarm sound of the key being left in the ignition when the switch would be off, yet the engine would be running. Later it began to stall the engine. Then later it began doing all of this using either turn signal. I have bought each and replaced them even to replacing the cluster as no one has been able to find what is causing all of this. I could really use some help in getting to root of this problem. I am a great-grandmother and am scared to ride them in my car. This has now began happening every time I use the turn signal. Good thing I learned the hand signals. I have been a faithful Chevrolet person, I would really hate to have to go to another make.

I bought a 00 Impala 2 months ago and was driving I rush hour traffic from my heart doctors office well a semi almost hit me from behind because my turn signals stopped working . Then I kept pushing the hazard switch finally they came back on. Well a couple of days ago I went to get some medicine and almost got hit again. Well the turn signals stopped again. I have called and wrote emails to gm and no body will get a hold of me on this. They have recalled the malibus I have found out for this problem well why not the Impalas??? I have even checked with an attorney and he told me I should do legal action against them since this is a safety problem. Well he wants money up front well I used my money to buy the car. So im asking why and how can we all get together and force gm to recall and fix this problem?????I have other problems but im fine with them ,I just want to get my turn signals fixed, and not at my expense.

2002 Impala turn signals work at times and then don't work. I found that pressing the hazard switch several times did work but only for a short while until it happened again.

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 signal will go out at random times and work again once I hit the hazard switch.

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Impala lt. The turn signal was silent when engaged. The contact's eyes must be taken off the road in order to view the dashboard. Therefore, the contact felt this was a safety issue. The dealer stated the vehicle was designed this way and the issue cannot be resolved. The current and failure mileage were 800. The consumer could not hear the sound coming from the turn signal switch. Updated 04/12/07.

Turn signals won't work unless you mess with the hazard light switch.

Turn signals work intermediately. This is a very common issue with Impalas. Very dangerous when I signal I don't know if it is going to work. I have almost caused multiple accidents because of this issue. I complained multiple times to the dealer but they claimed nothing was wrong. As soon as I hit the 100,000 mile mark they all of a sudden have a solution. This should be fixed by the dealer because of the number of times it's been reported. There is obviously something going on with the switch.

The contact states while driving at night with the high beam headlights on there was a loss of lighting. This was intermittent in nature. Maneuvering the high beam/low beam switch quickly activated the headlights. Took the vehicle to the dealer, who determined that the turn signal switch was faulty. No repairs have been made due to excessive cost. Updated 01/19/06.

Turn signals failed to function occasionally and this problem was increasing in frequency. No accidents,but I had to roll down window to give turn indications. My chevy dealer replaced a part or parts and I seem to be ok. At a cost of over 100 dollars.

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.

Directional turn signals work intermittently. When I brought this up to the attention of my mechanic, he told me that he has done approx 6-8 for the same problem. Apparently, this appears to be a common issue with this vehicle and the repairs cost approx $150. The entire switch needs to be replaced.
