6 Hazard Flashing Warning Light Unit problem

Failure Date: 03/10/2004

It appears that gm's claim that it completed the turn signal and hazard warning switch is not entirely accurate. My signal warning relay, situated in the hazard warning system, hasn't stopped clacking for nearly two years. Perhaps it is the one that slipped through the crack. The problem is ongoing (not resolved).

7 Hazard Flashing Warning Light Unit problem

Failure Date: 08/22/2003

The turn signal lights in my 2001 Malibu are failing or working intermittently while driving. I barely avoided a collision changing landes on a city highway. Sometimes they come on to fail again after I operate the hazard lights for a while. Also after turning off the motor after failure of turn signal and starting again the turn signal / hazard light may or may not start working. Dealer pin points to hazard relais. This should be a general recall since it is a well known and well documented manufacturer's problem.
