“Turn signal/hazard flashers.on occasion will not work period, or turn on with no blinking. Wiggling the hazard switch can bring back the flashing/flickering. Replaced part once for the same reason, was good for three months,but it came back again. The irony, the car has an no start/security light problem, but when I installed the new hazard flasher, I did not have the no start problem until the hazard switch failed again. Now it makes one wonder if the hazard switch plays a roll in the security/passkey no start scenario. …”
NHTSA complaint #10344889, filed 2010-07, 114,902 miles“So much for investing in american-made vehicles. I, like over a dozen others who took the time to file a complaint, am experiencing the flicker and dim of all lighting during the evening hours - especially when the weather's colder. It is unnerving to me, and I'm sure to those drivers around me, to drive with questionable exterior lighting. And, as others have said, GM does not view this as a safety issue . What say they have their spouse, or their child, drive a vehicle with this same not a safety issue and see if their view doesn't change? …”
NHTSA complaint #10049630, filed 2003-12, 55,000 miles“The fan for the heat and air conditioning keeps failing to work, the front turn signal either burns out in 4 days or won't work at all even with professionally installed all new bulbs.the engine keeps running even when I remove the key from the ignition.”
NHTSA complaint #10579195, filed 2014-04, 36,000 miles“Engine and everything electrical stops instantly. Everything shuts off. During restart the vehicle cranks longer (5-6 seconds) before starting and misses for 3-4 seconds. Then runs strong as if nothing happened. Some times turn signals will stop working after a restart and other times the turn signals will stop working whether the vehicle stalled or not. At higher speeds (45mph +) the vehicle will frequently shut off but instantly come back on.”
NHTSA complaint #10524248, filed 2013-07, 37,000 miles“Dad: the consumer stated that the headlights had come on and had gone off intermittently and the cruise control was not working. The dealer could not identify the cause of the problem. This problem had been happening for two months. The consumer had no consultation with the manufacturer. (11/22/05) the problem was found to be a failing ignition switch.”
