Turn signal intermittent and safety flashers inoperative at same time. Doesn't matter if it's in motion, stationary, on city street, highway, etc. , happens approx. 5 minutes after being used.

The turn signal continues to click after making a turn and using the signal. I first noticed this on the turnpike switching lanes. I put the turn signal on and when it was turned off it continued to click but the lights were not flashing. The noise seemed to be coming from behind the steering wheel. Now the clicking will occur when I am driving straight or turning without using the turn signals. No repairs have been done.
Anytime the car is on, a clicking sounds come from the inside of the car as if the turn signal is on. $200 for the part and labor to change the turn signal switch. This should be recalled, for crying out loud, its a 2001. I am extremely dissatisfied with this.
