The turn signals on my 2000 Chevrolet Malibu have operated intermittently since shortly after I purchased the car used in March of 2003. The turn signals and the hazard lights become completely inoperative at random times while driving. Sometimes they will be inoperative for a few seconds, and sometimes it can be hours. Overall I would estimate that the turn signals only function about 50% of the time. When the turn signals are not functioning it is extremely difficult and stressful to maneuver through heavy traffic. I have often times upset other drivers after switching lanes without having a functioning turn signal. When the problem first started to occur (more than a year ago) I returned the car to the dealership and told them of the problem. The mechanics checked the turn signal bulbs, and after finding no problems told me that it was probably a loose bulb so it should be fixed. The next day the problem continued, and so I returned to the dealer. This time they took the car into the shop to check it over more carefully. After a day in the shop I was told that they did not find any problems and that during a test drive the blinkers operating correctly. I took the car home, and as usual the turn signals continued to work intermittently. After having to deal with this problem for over a year now, I believe the problem is in the hazard switch (mounted in the dash). Often times when the turn signals (and hazards) quit working I can press the hazard switch several times and eventually they will beginning functioning again. I have also found that on warm and humid days, the turn signals will not work at all until the air conditioning has thoroughly cooled and lowered the humidity of the interior of the car. In the near future I plan on trading the car in (and passing on the problem to someone else) for a different vehicle (not a Chevrolet) that will most likely have turn signals that operate 100% of the time.
