Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR TO WORK AND LEAVING MY STREET TO TURN ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY. I LIFTED THE TURN SIGNAL LEVER TO INDICATE MY TURN AND THE BLINKER DID NOT WORK. I TRIED THE OTHER TURN SIGNAL DIRECTION AND THAT DID NOT WORK EITHER. THE HAZARD BUTTON DID WORK. I INSTINCTIVELY USE THE TURN SIGNALS AND HAVE HEARD A BUZZING SOUND COMING FROM THE CENTER OF THE DASHBOARD, NEAR THE HAZARD BUTTON/SWITCH. BLINKERS WORK IF I PRESS THE HAZARD WARNING LIGHT, USE THE TURN SIGNAL AND THEN DEPRESS THE HAZARD BUTTON. UPON RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET IT SEEMS THAT THE HAZARD WARNING SWITCH MAY BE THE CULPRIT. I'VE CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE TO NOTIFY THEM OF THIS PROBLEM AND AM WAITING FOR THEIR REPLY. IT SEEMS THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THIS PART FOR THE 2000 SATURN LS BUT NOT FOR MY MODEL AND YEAR. *TR
