Turn Signal Switch problems of the 2000 Chevrolet Malibu

There are three safety problems that have occurred. The first is that the turn signals sometimes work and sometimes don't. The second is that the engine will at time accelerate on it's own while driving and while idle. The third is that the engine sometimes completely shuts off while driving when it rains. A car repair shop has identified problems with the throttle position sensor and the idle air control motor. Searching on the internet reveals that this particular car has problems with the emergency light control that causes turn signal problems. I performed a recall search and the only recall I found was for an ignition switch modification which doesn't seem to relate to my problems.

My 2000 chevy Malibu, VIN [xxx] recently began having intermittent turn signal failure. Sometimes the turn signals work, and sometimes they don't. Recall 03v327 did not apply to my VIN, and a special program chevy implemented, described in NHTSA action # rq04005 applied to my car but expired in February 2010. Under this program, gm replaced failed switches for free. They refuse to do this for me now, as the program has expired. The recall doesn't expire, but the program does. As this acknowledged defect is exactly the same as the issue of the recall, why is there an allowed expiration for the remedy??! this makes no sense, and is adverse to public safety! information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
