| 2002 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HAZARD FLASHING WARNING LIGHTS:SWITCH | MY BLINKERS ON MY CHEVY MALIBU 2002 WORK INTERMITTENTLY. THIS IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE I NEED TO TURN THE BLINKER TO THE LEFT TO TURN ON MY CAR AS A SAFETY PROCEDURE INSTALLED BY THE PRODUCER. IT IS ALSO A PROBLEM BECAUSE WHEN I DRIVE I HAVE TO CHANGE LANES AND EVEN THOUGH I TURN MY BLINKERS ON THEY DO NOT WORK SO I AM CUTTING PEOPLE OFF ALL THE TIME. I TRIED TAKING IT TO THE GM DEALERSHIP BUT THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THAT KIND OF PROBLEM. IT IS GETTING VERY ANNOYING AND TODAY I HAD TO WAIT ABOUT 10 MINUTES TO TURN MY CAR ON WHEN I WAS TRYING TO GET SOME MONEY FROM THE ATM. IT IS ANNOYING BECAUSE IF THE LEFT BLINKER DOES NOT TURN ON AND I START MY CAR IT DOES NOT START AND THE HORN SOUNDS. PEOPLE WERE LOOKING AT ME FUNNY BECAUSE THE HORN SOUNDED LIKE 30 TIMES. *JB |
| 2007 | STEERING | WHILE DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT PART OF THE ROAD GOING ABOUT 45 I FELT THE STEERING WHEEL JERK TO THE LEFT TURNING THE CAR INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC, I HAD TO PULL VERY HARD TO THE RIGHT TO KEEP FROM HITTING ANOTHER CAR HEAD ON. THEN A FEW DAYS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED ONLY THIS TIME IT JERKED TO THE RIGHT CAUSING ME TO RUN INTO A DITCH. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR BUT HAVE TO IT IS THE ONLY ONE I HAVE TO GET TO WORK AND BACK. GM NEEDS TO RECALL THIS CAR A FIX THE STEERING PROBLEM BEFORE SOME GETS KILLED. *TR |
