Turn signals only work some of the time and make a loud buzzing noise sometimes you can make them work by pushing the four way flashers but it is only a temporary fix.. I believe this is a serious safety issue and there should be a recall for this problem. There is also a clunking noise coming form the steering column/front end.

I have a 2001 monte carlo ss that I purchased about 4 years ago today. My complaint is about the turn signals not operating all the time. They will shut off while you make a turn while traffic is behind you, hopefully I will not get rear-ended some day. This has been happening for several years now and the people whom I spoke with also have own a monte carlo ss complain about this to. So I am not the only one that's having this problem. This is a very dangerous mechanical defect and needs special attention asap before some one gets injured or killed. What concerns me is that there has never been a recall on this automobile and addition there has been many complaints that I am aware of. Need assistance with this dangerous defect asap.

Turn signals operate erratically or not at all mostly during warmer weather. Pressing the hazard light button on for about 3 seconds usually makes them start working again but creates a distracted driving condition when trying to let your intentions known to other drivers. Symptoms are no blinking, slow and changing blink speed, and excessively fast blinking.
