NHTSA Complaint #10354119 — 2002 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO

I HAVE A 2002 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO LS. ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO MY TURN SIGNALS QUIT WORKING RANDOMLY. IT SEEMED TO BE THE WORST ON HOT DAYS. I WOULD LEAVE MY HOME OR WORK WITH THEM WORKING PROPERLY AND THEN AT A RANDOM POINT DURING MY DRIVE THEY WOULD NO LONGER WORK. GM HAS RECALLED OTHER MAKES AND MODELS FOR SIMILAR PROBLEMS. HOWEVER, THE MONTE CARLOS HAVE NEVER BEEN RECALLED. AFTER SEARCHING FOR A POTENTIAL SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM, I HAVE FOUND THAT IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON MANY SIMILAR CARS THAT GM MAKES. MOST PEOPLE HAVE SAID THAT IT IS RELATED TO THE HAZARD SWITCH IN THE DASH BOARD. THIS IS A RELATIVELY CHEAP FIX HOWEVER IT IS ALSO A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD SINCE I NEVER KNOW WHEN THE TURN SIGNALS WILL OR WILL NOT WORK. IT SEEMS TO BE LUCK OF THE DRAW, WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION ON THIS PROBLEM. *TR
