Recall N140350. Attempted to have vehicle serviced at jim glover on the river in tulsa, ok. Was constantly told that my request for service was sent sling to their service department and I would hear from then shortly. Every time I contacted them, I wad told the same thing. No communication whatsoever, other than from their sales department trying to sell me another car. After a week of getting the run around and no communication other than "you'll be heading from them, " I'm assuming that they don't want to actually help me, since they wont make any money off of me.

You can be driving at any speed and all of the sudden your turn signals stop working. They will work well for hours then when you go to make a turn they either will not turn on or turn on for a couple seconds and then turn off. If you lightly tap the emergency flash button they will start working again but if you tap the emergency flash button to hard your emergency flash lights turn on. It really concerns me when I try to make a left hand turn on the highway in the fast lane and they stop working. I feel this is worse then the key problem GM has had because they work on and off at any given time without warning. I have spoke with a number of people with the same problem with the turn signals and they have advised me that it will run anywhere from three to four hundred to have repaired.
