Turn Signal problems of the 2007 Ford Fusion

The left front turn signal stopped working. It will light up when the parking lights are on, but will not flash with the turn signal is activated.

The front left turn signal is not working and the vehicle gives no warning of this fact (like when the bulb goes out and the turn signal blinks faster). The bulb and fuse are fine and according to the dealer it is the Smart junction box which costs six hundred dollars to replace. My research online indicates that this is a common problem and I fail to see how Ford does not consider inoperable turn signals to be anything other than a safety issue. Every turn or four way stop is a safety issue as others drives have no idea which direction we will be traveling.

Came home from work , went back out to car to go to store noticed left front turn signal bulb was on steady. Changed bulbs stayed on still. Had it checked out said it was the Smart junc tion box. This is a common problem many people are having and something needs to be done to fix it. Ford needs to do a recall and make it right !.

This morning, when the temperature was about 5 degrees, the turn signals failed to work for a right turn, then for a left turn. Whenever the temperature is near or below zero, the turn signals fail to work. It is sometimes possible to get them to work by pushing and holding the level, but not even that works at about -10 degrees or colder. The dealer refused to look at it, they just say, "can not duplicate. " this is about the fourth time this winter that I have had difficulty getting them to work. The lack of a signal for a lane change and the distraction of trying to get it to work could lead to a collision.
