This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The turn signals/ hazard warning flashers work intermittently. The brake lights do not work when the turn signal is activated when they are not working. This is only on the side that the turn signal is turned to and this only occurs when the turn signals are not working. They seem to work better when it is cool and they seem to fail more often when it is warm or hot. Frequently the turn signals seem to work early in the day and they quit as the day gets warmer. There does not seem to be any other correlation to when they work. Some mornings they do not work and then after I park they might or might not work when the car is restarted. When the turn signals work normally there is no problem. When they do not work the brake light on the side that should be signaling quits working when the turn signals are activated but not working. When they are not working the brake lights do not work correctly if the turn signal is activated.
