(GM recall 03043)this recall exactly describes the problem that I have been having with my care off and on for quite a while. The turn signals and hazard lights intermittently fail. It is dangerous to expect the turn signal to work and find it does not.”
NHTSA complaint #10234531, filed 2008-07, 97,000 miles“I have researched this problem and there seems to be too many people whose windows jam than fall down into the door. I have personally paid over $400 two times to have this fixed. Also another incident with this car are the blinker which sometimes work and sometimes don't. Just this week another problem with the air conditioning. The blower is not working therefore no defrost in this cold weather.”

NHTSA complaint #10243106, filed 2008-09, 100,140 miles“My turn signals will periodically stop working.
