NHTSA Complaint #10578957 — 2004 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO

AS DRIVING AT 45 MPH DURING RUSH HOUR, I USED MY INDICATOR TO CHANGE LANES. THIS IS A ROAD THAT HAS 3 LANES. I WAS CHANGING LANES INTO THE MIDDLE. I HAD MY STEREO ON AT A NORMAL VOLUME WITH MY BABY IN THE CAR. AS I STARTED TO MOVE INTO THE MIDDLE LANE SO DID ANOTHER CAR FROM THE 3RD LANE. I WAS BEING HONKED AT BY SEVERAL CARS. AS I TRIED TO RECOVER, I WAS ALMOST HIT BY THE CAR MOVING INTO THE MIDDLE LANE AND ALMOST CAUSED A BIGGER ACCIDENT BY TRYING TO RECOVER BACK INTO THE LANE I WAS IN. IT WAS AT THIS POINT I REALIZED MY INDICATORS HAD SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. AFTER 20 MINUTES OF DRIVING THE INDICATORS SUDDENLY CAME BACK ON. FOUR DAYS LATER I WAS IN THE SAME SITUATION. NAVIGATING THE ROADS WITHOUT INDICATORS. OUT OF PANIC I HIT THE HAZARDS. THE LIGHTS ALL TURNED ON WITH THE HAZARD BUTTON. I TURNED IT OFF AND NOW THE INDICATORS WERE WORKING AGAIN. WELL THAT MUST HAVE BEEN A ONE TIME THING. EVERY TIME THE INDICATORS HAVE GONE OUT SINCE, NOTHING WORKS TO GET THEM WORKING AGAIN. *TR
