Turn signals randomly fail to operate. Sometimes the turn signals will work fine and for no apparent reason or driving condition the turn signal lights fail to work. An "on-line" search for possible reasons for the failure revealed many complaints for the very same problem and the remedy is to replace the hazard signal warning switch. I feel given the life/safety seriousness of turn signal failure in high traffic areas that this model of general motors vehicle should be recalled and the issue repaired. I have notice in my community the consumers of this vehicle are young adults that are economically challenged and purchasing their first vehicle and not necessarily safety conscious or aware of the ramifications of faulty turn signals.
