Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Just purchased the car, drove him with no problems, went for another drive right after the blinkers inside nor outside the car would work, they at times would work after this then just not work again, after doing research about this problem I learned the hazzard switch was the problem and making the blinkers not work at times, I roach the hazzard switch now the blinkers are just fine.”
NHTSA complaint #10733377, filed 2015-07, 113,400 miles“For a couple of years when I turn on my turn signals and leave on while waiting at a red light they will quit working all together. I have learned to turn them on and show what I am going to do then turn them off until the light changes and turn them on again to show which way I am turning. After I have stopped and restarted the car they start working again. It is dangerous if you forget to do the process I mentioned above because you can't signal to change lanes or anything if you are in the wrong lane and need to get over and stop and restart the car.”
NHTSA complaint #10419346, filed 2011-08, 80,000 miles“While using turn signals, the turn signals intermittently will work and not work. I have found that if they are not working that I can get them working again by activating the 4-way flashers. Sometimes it takes pressing the 4-way flasher button numerous times to get the 4-way flashers working but then the turn signals will work again. I believe that the problem is in the flasher unit. This seems to be a very important safety issue.”
NHTSA complaint #10016723, filed 2003-04, 39,000 miles“Turn signal flasher - inoperative. Also affects 4-way emergency flasher. The turn signal flasher unit is embedded in the dash- as part of the four-way emergency flasher. The flasher unit has failed, and I can't get to the unit to replace it. As a result, my turn signals do not work. I have scheduled a replacement time with the dealer, but am operating in this impaired condition while waiting to get it fixed. The information about replacing a flasher is not in the operator's manual.”
NHTSA complaint #10160787, filed 2006-06, 124,000 miles“My turn sigmal flasher doesn't work sometimes. I think it happens more often when the humidity is high. I can sometimes correct it by depressing the emergency flasher button. This is dangerous!!!”
