I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY HAZARD LIGHTS AS WELL AS TURNING SIGNALS. THEY HAVE BEEN REPLACED SINCE THE LAST RECALL, BUT HAVE WENT OUT AGAIN. I ALSO HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY FUEL LINE, SUCH AS MY VEHICLE NOT WANTING TO ACCELERATE, IT SEEMS THAT IT IDLES AT A INTERSECTION LIGHT WITH THE RPM'S GOING UP TO THE 2 OR 3 THEN ACTING AS IF IT WANTS TO SHUT OFF. I HAD THE FUEL LINE REPLACED NOT EVEN THIRTY DAYS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE JAN OF 2000, AND I DID SEE SOME INVESTIGATION CONCERNING THE FUEL LINE MONTHS PRIOR TO THE PURCHASE. MY VEHICLE STOPPED ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, AND MY VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A CHEVORLET DEALER OUTSIDE OF LANSING NEAR LAKE ODESSA. I AT THAT TIME WAS NOT CHARGED FOR THIS FUEL PUMP WHICH THEY DID TRY TO CHARGE...
