Turn signals not working. At first noticed fast flashing of indicator on dash, then noticed slow flashing, and then no flashing, just a steady indicator light, and finally, no indicator light at all. Bought a flasher at napa auto parts, thinking I could just replace it, but I couldn't find the flasher. Went to the dealer to inquire about the replacement of the flasher and they said chevrolet has designed the turn signal system so that the enitre dashboard has to be removed to replace the flasher which will take approx. 2 hours of labor, costing over $200. That is outrageous! They also said there is a recall on the multi-function switch which controls the hazard lights and turn signals, (#o1v364000) but that my vehicle is not included in the recall. The dealer said that the recall may be extended to other vehicles, and I could get reimbursed. I sure hope so. It's rediculous to have to pay over $200 to replace a flasher or replace a defective switch. Dt

Engine stalled five times w/out warning, on one occasion almost resulting in vehicle collision.
Blinker is not loud enough while flashers are blinking.
