Example complaints

“The hazard flashers are inoperable on this vehicle. The servicing dealer has indicated that this is a somewhat common problem. The repair seems to involve the hazard flasher/turn signal switch which I understand is located inside the steering column. I have been told that the repair costs $200-$300. It seems to me that the hazard flashers a re an essential safety related component of the vehicle and should be repaired at no cost to the consumer.”
