“TURN SIGNALS ONLY WORK SOME OF THE TIME AND MAKE A LOUD BUZZING NOISE SOMETIMES YOU CAN MAKE THEM WORK BY PUSHING THE FOUR WAY FLASHERS BUT IT IS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX.. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. THERE IS ALSO A CLUNKING NOISE COMING FORM THE STEERING COLUMN/FRONT END. *TR”

“TL*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.”

“I HAVE A 2001 MONTE CARLO SS THAT I PURCHASED ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO TODAY. MY COMPLAINT IS ABOUT THE TURN SIGNALS NOT OPERATING ALL THE TIME. THEY WILL SHUT OFF WHILE YOU MAKE A TURN WHILE TRAFFIC IS BEHIND YOU, HOPEFULLY I WILL NOT GET REAR-ENDED SOME DAY. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW AND THE PEOPLE WHOM I SPOKE WITH ALSO HAVE OWN A MONTE CARLO SS COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS TO. SO I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT'S HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS MECHANICAL DEFECT AND NEEDS SPECIAL ATTENTION ASAP BEFORE SOME ONE GETS INJURED OR KILLED. WHAT CONCERNS ME IS THAT THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A RECALL ON THIS AUTOMOBILE AND ADDITION THERE HAS BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS THAT I AM AWARE OF. NEED ASSISTANCE WITH THIS DANGEROUS DEFECT ASAP. *TR”

“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. *TR”

“TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE CONTACT ACTIVATED THE TURN SIGNAL, BUT IT DID NOT ILLUMINATE. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS AND NOTHING COULD BE DONE; THEREFORE, THE CONTACT HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ALSO MALFUNCTIONED INTERMITTENTLY AND CONTINUOUSLY ACTIVATED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,800 AND CURRENT MILEAGE IS 77,130. UPDATED 06/17/08. *LJ”
