This is regarding my hazard lights and turn signals.
Car drove well for 4 years no problem, then signal lights stopped working, works sometimes, but most of the time doesn't, have had bulbs changed many times, brand new bulbs, signals works when they want to. I've been honked at & cars have blew their horns at my vehicle because I have to turn sometimes & it fails to work,then I saw recall on internet.
I have a problem with my turn signals but while researching I found a recall notice for 2000-2001 chevy malibus. I contacted chevy (victor wood) and they refused to fix the problem and give me a written statement on why they would not fix it. They only gave me a file number 71-659486155 for reference. The problem I am having is identical to the recall notice. The 5 digit gm recall number is 03043 and the summary is: summary: certain passenger vehicles have hazard warning switches that may experience solder joint cracking caused by rapid temperature transitions and the soldering process. If solder joint cracking occurs and results in an open circuit, the turn signals/hazard lamps become intermittent or inoperative. Consequence: when the turn signals are inoperative, the driver cannot use them to signal intent to turn that could result in a crash. Remedy: dealers will replace the hazard warning switch. Owner notification began on february 5, 2004. Owners should contact chevrolet at 1‑800‑630‑2438, pontiac at 1‑800‑620‑7668, or oldsmobile at 1‑800‑630‑6537.

I purchased a 2000 chevrolet malibu in 06/2007 from a independent salesman. A few months later when I use my turn signals they will come on sometime then sometime they don't show after I turn them on. I check fuses and things everything is good. I am scared when I turn because I don't know if they are going to come on.

Turn signal failure, signals seem to stop working quite often when I am attempting to turn.
I purchased this car used in march of 2006. Upon purchasing the vehicle, I found that the turn signal only worked intermittently. I also noticed that the hazard switch did not function at all. Over time I have found that when the heat is on that the turn signals fail to work without shifting the hazard switch around, and when the cold air is on that it works decently. Gm issued recall 03043 (the federal safety agency campaign 03v327000) for over 670,000 malibus, aleros, and grand ams in 2000-2001. However, upon visiting the dealership they stated that my 2000 malibu was not covered by the recall. In looking over the vehicle history we found that the hazard switch had been replaced while under warranty by the first own (which implies it was faulty), and the new one is at least dysfunctional as the first. Even though the problem and its cause is evident, the dealership fails to remedy the issue. Several mechanics have diagnosed the problem to be exactly what is described in the recall. The dealership has only offered me the chance to call their customer service center to see if they can help me. Due to the faulty hazard switch, I am unable to signal when making lane changes or turning. I am unable to use my hazard switch in case of emergency, or when my car has to be stopped on the side of the road or interstate.
Tl*the contact owns a 2000 chevrolet malibu. The contact took her vehicle to the dealer to have her hazard lights serviced due to a recall notice.

Turn signals stop working or don't work at all.
I have a 2000 chevy malibu with a faulty hazard switch. As per gm my car does not have any recalls based on my VIN#. The cost for the part is under $30 but the cost for labor at the chevy dealer is more than $200 for a total of almost $300. I have since replaced this part myself and my turn signals and hazard's are in working order. I paid the $30 for the part and it took me less that 6 minutes to replace. Now since I'm someone who knows his way around a car, it upsets me that a dealership would charge that much. Since the part for the recall fixed my problem and gm says it had no recalls I would like them to pay me for the repair of the problem. They have stated in the past that if they found that this would become a recall issue they would reimburse me for the repair. It's only fair since they would charge me in the first place to make the repair since in their system my car does not need any recalls. I could see them charging for an hour of labor, parts and tax. But that would be about $100. Please let me know what you find out. Thanks.
