In late 2003, early 2004, the hazard lights stopped working and you had to hold button down to keep them on. at the time, i had not received a recall notice. i had my mechanic work on it and fix the wiring. in aug. 2014, it became a problem again, which i haven't fixed yet. due to recent recalls, of which i received a notice for having my ignition and keys fixed for my car, i went onto the nhtsa website to check past recall notices and saw one issued in feb. 2004 for cars of my make/model/year for the hazard warning switch. (campaign #03v327000) by vin number, it shows my car wasn't one with the defective switch, however, i believe there to be a problem there and it should be looked into. *tr

The turn signals and hazard flashers on my 2000 chevy malibu only work intermittently. often times they will not work at all, or they will stop working in the middle of a turn. they will flash once or twice and quit working; in addition, they will work for a moment then quit working then begin working again. also, rarest of all, they will work fine. there is a recall on the turn signals and hazard flashers for the same make, model, and year; however, gm has told me that it does not cover my vehicle. obviously, the problem that i am experiencing is the same or similar to the problems experienced in covered vehicles (if, in fact, mine is not a covered vehicle). this has been happening for several months without an obvious cause. there are no conditions which made my car immune from this problem, but it happens less when i run the air conditioner. *la

I have a 2000 chevy malibu. i am having problems with my blinkers working intermittently. i have scheduled an appointment to take it in. when the blinkers are not working i have realized my hazard light also do not work. we changed the fuse and they work for 3 weeks straight but now i am back to one turn thye work the next they dont.*ak

The turn signals did not work properly. the dealer fixed the problem twice, however the problem recurred. *jb

The turn signals on my 2000 chevrolet malibu have operated intermittently since shortly after i purchased the car used in march of 2003. the turn signals and the hazard lights become completely inoperative at random times while driving. sometimes they will be inoperative for a few seconds, and sometimes it can be hours. overall i would estimate that the turn signals only function about 50% of the time. when the turn signals are not functioning it is extremely difficult and stressful to maneuver through heavy traffic. i have often times upset other drivers after switching lanes without having a functioning turn signal. when the problem first started to occur (more than a year ago) i returned the car to the dealership and told them of the problem. the mechanics checked the turn signal bulbs, and after finding no problems told me that it was probably a loose bulb so it should be fixed. the next day the problem continued, and so i returned to the dealer. this time they took the car into the shop to check it over more carefully. after a day in the shop i was told that they did not find any problems and that during a test drive the blinkers operating correctly. i took the car home, and as usual the turn signals continued to work intermittently. after having to deal with this problem for over a year now, i believe the problem is in the hazard switch (mounted in the dash). often times when the turn signals (and hazards) quit working i can press the hazard switch several times and eventually they will beginning functioning again. i have also found that on warm and humid days, the turn signals will not work at all until the air conditioning has thoroughly cooled and lowered the humidity of the interior of the car. in the near future i plan on trading the car in (and passing on the problem to someone else) for a different vehicle (not a chevrolet) that will most likely have turn signals that operate 100% of the time. *jb

Recall 03v327000, hazard warning switch: intermittently the hazard and signal lights will not work. consumer had a mechanic examine the vehicle and determined that the hazard warning switch needed replacement. there was a recall on this make, model, and year. but this vehicle was not included in the recall due to vin. *ak

Consumer called complaining about having problems with the vehicle turn signal and safety light (emergency signal) dealer has replaced the switch turn signal part at 24.000 miles, and consumer states the problem is recurring. ts

I too, have many of the problems that other malibu owners have. my turn signals work intermittently, the brakes have been replaced 2x, in addition to rotors, etc. the battery blew up, but was replaced as was the ac turning off and on by itself. the one issue that is very concerning to me, is one familiar to you. my car cuts off at anytime while driving. it has done this to me on 2 separate occasions. nashville has 3 interstates running through it and i was on them both times this happened. it was very scary and dangerous. it is out of warranty and the shops that i have taken it to cannot replicate the problem. the mechanics at then shops told me that malibu's are by far some of the most troublesome cars on the road today. someone is going to be killed. you lose control and have no steering ability, what does it take to fix the problem. i can see from others that their problems are being ignored as well. when will gm acknowledge the problem. don't they watch the news and see what happened with the firestone recall, or the tobacco companies that kept secrets? it is time for someone to be responsible for their product. *nlm

When you go to turn on the turn signals they do not work. they will work one minute and not the next. at times you have to turn on the four way flashers to get the signal to work and at times this does not alway help. i have had several near rear end misses because of this. it's a safety hazard!*ak

Numerous problems: brakes made noise when applied, vehicle jerked when at a complete stop,the vehicle shut down on the consumer three times, it started loud and hard, bounced while being driven and a bolt fell off from under the passenger seat, however the dealer stated the bolt did not belong to the vehicle. *ph also the rear passenger window was inoperative, and the battery was weak. *jb

Turn indicators would function intermittently. fortunately, i was able to avoid having a serious accident; but, many close calls. in the fall of 2002, i had the vehicle repaired. in 2003 it was brought to my attention that gm was going to have a recall campaign in the 1st quarter of 2004; however, my vin is not in the range of vehicles to be repaired.*ak

This will be the 4th time to take vehicle in for turn signal problems. i have to use my hazards to get my turn signal to work. now neither one of them work. the first time i took it in they told me there was no way my hazards would make my turn signal work. this car is a piece of expensive junk. not to mention the brakes have been replaced also.*ak

Consumer states that the turning signal and emergency lights on the vehicle will intermittenly work. contacted dealer please provide further information. mr

Recall no. #03v327000, hazard warning switch failure. intermittently the signal lights do not work properly. also,when the signal lights were engaged only a irritating noise was heard. this vehicle was not included in the recall due to vin. *ak
