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.

What owners say
Clunk felt and heard in steering colum.
Windsheld wipers park straight up vertical. Heater resistor failed. Check engine light always on. Steering wheel rattles when cornering slowly. Light always on saying antifreeze low despite it not being low. Too much bass in radio rough shifts. Brake pads done at 70,000km seems to be falling apart as soon as warranty was up.
Clunking noise when making a turn can also be felt through the steering column. The same thing can be felt at highway speeds.
Vehicle taken to dealer for "clunk" in steering wheel , repair done and after completeing repair , vehicle no longer travels in straight line . Vehicle weaves at all speeds , pulling to the right then darting to the left .dealer states " no known repair for this defect". Nlm
