My 2002 chevy Malibu has bad signal lights. Sometimes they work sometimes they don't. I see there is a bulletin posted about this problem so I called the local dealer and they told me that they know nothing about it and I have to pay to have them fix it. Can you look into this for me? the last 8 digits of the VIN. That's what they asked for to check. Thanks.
