Hazard Flashing Warning Light Unit problems of the 2001 Chevrolet Monte Carlo

The contact owns a 2001 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. The contact stated that the hazard light, headlights and turn signals all failed. However, the turn signals functioned intermittently. The vehicle had not been inspected or repaired. The current and failure mileages were 150,000.

Turn signals operate erratically or not at all mostly during warmer weather. Pressing the hazard light button on for about 3 seconds usually makes them start working again but creates a distracted driving condition when trying to let your intentions known to other drivers. Symptoms are no blinking, slow and changing blink speed, and excessively fast blinking.

The VIN was unknown. The current mileage is 118,000 and failure mileage was 114,000.

Over the past couple of months we have noticed that the turn signals on our 2001 Monte Carlo have started failing. They will be fine sometimes, and then out of the blue they will stop working. This problem sometimes lasts for just a few minutes, and recently we have gone for days without them working. After calling several dealerships and local mechanics we have learned that they have fixed alot of this problems, and are getting complaints about these turn signals. One gentleman told us it could be the hazard switch, but probably is the turn signal. This truly is a safety concern of ours considering we are never sure when we hit the signal if it is going to come on, or fail us again.
