The contact owns a 2004 Chevrolet Impala. The contact was driving approximately 40 mph with the headlights activated and suddenly without warning the headlights stopped illuminating for a few seconds. The same malfunction recurred on three separate occasions. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 95,000. Updated 03/14/12 the multi-function switch was replaced at a cost of $ 495.78
No prior event. Turn signal flasher ceased to function full time. It has been intermittent for several days. Hazard lights nor turn signals blink. Bulbs come on and stay on. No flasher.
Suddenly the directional signals failed to work. The light would go on and then stay on. When I turn off the engine and restart many times they will again work for awhile and then suddenly stopped again. I've checked the fuzes, etc. But nothing helps. This could present safety issues. Checking on the internet I find many have had this same problems.
