2001 Chevrolet Impala lights complaints
Page 3 of 4: complaints 41 to 70 of 74, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The turn signals are inoperative in normal driving modes, I can not show intent of left or right signaling. I brought the vehicle to the dealer and the signal assembly and the multi-function switch was thought to be defective and repaired for a cost of $557.00. Within a day, the signaling problems surfaced again and was then scheduled for a follow-up appointment. The vehicle was found to have a defective hazard warning switch, at a repair cost of an additional cost of $149.79. This is extremely a lot of money to pay for a defective part, and has caused much hardship. Please refer to 2001 chevrolet malibu recall, the federal safety agency: 03v327000 and auto recall date 20030828. I am formally requesting financial assistance on this matter.
Turn signals work sometimes...sometimes not. You never know when they will or will not work.
Dt*: the contact stated while driving 50 MPH on the highway, the vehicle's right turn signal did not illuminate when activated. Both turn signals do not function at times. The signal malfunctions intermittently. There was another vehicle made by the same manufacturer who had a recall for the same problem. The manufacturer was alerted but has not respond to the contact's concerns.
My turn signals do not run properly. They work and sometimes they don't. The hazards work then they don't'. At times when you move the turn signals back and forth or you turn the hazards on and off, it might make the turn signals work ok, I haven't had any turn signals that work correctly for the past two years.
Turn signals only work sporadically. 2001 chevy impala. This has been occurring over the past year. The dealer can't tell me what is wrong.

The contact must push in the hazard light switch to get the turn signals to flash on and off correctly.

I own a 2001 chevy impala. I have had problems with the turn signals and hazard lights working. They work when they feel like it. I am a single mom and can't afford to repair this problem. Please help. I have a co worker who has the same car and is having the same problem.

Turn signal failure. This has been happening for several months once in a while. Lately it is happening more often. If I turn off car and restart the turn signals work again for a while.

Directional turn signals work intermittently. When I brought this up to the attention of my mechanic, he told me that he has done approx 6-8 for the same problem.

Have a chevrolet impala with a intake gasket leak. It is so bad it makes my young children physically sick. The turn signals have decided to only work once in a while and the locks on the doors (ours is a 4 door) are sticking - trapping us inside or keeping us locked out. Our trunk wont open at all!

Problems with the directional signals which work intermittenly.
At least once a week the turn signals fail to work (ussually during rush hour of course). I have reported this to the dealer 3 times and they have been unable to get it to repeat this failure; and, thus, say it is very difficult to fix the problem if they can't see it happen. Last failure was 03/26/04. The car is still under warranty.
