Turn signal does not work intermittently. When the turn signal does not work, I turn on the hazard flashers, then the turn signal works. My 1980 Chevrolet Malibu was manufactured October 1999, so I did not receive a recall pursuant to NHTSA #03V327000. When I contacted dealer, I was told they could not diagnose the problem unless I brought it in when the signal was not working. Since it is intermittent, that is impossible until it fails altogether. I assume the dealer was aware of the recall on models with a different manufacture date.

Turn signal failure on 2000 Chevrolet Malibu on numerous occasions. Had to put on hazard lights which sometimes also would not work. Hazard switch replaced at authorized Chevy dealership on 7/26/04 at a cost or $135.07. Just recently noticed on your website that recall 03V327000 had been issued on 2/5/04 by General Motors. Called Chevy recall customer service on 11/29/04 to inquire why I never received a recall notice and was told my car VIN # not on list for recall due to date car was manufactured.
