TURN SIGNAL SWITCH APPEARS TO BE FAILING - SOMETHING GM ADDRESSED ON EARLIER MODEL VEHICLES AND ACROSS A WIDE RANGE OF GM VEHICLES. TURN SIGNAL SWITCH APPEARS TO CONTINUE TO OPERATE EVEN AFTER THE TURN SIGNAL IS RETURNED TO IT'S OFF POSITION. CLICKING IS RANDOM AND USUALLY VERY FAST - LIKELY THE RESULT OF CURRENT ARCING GIVEN EARLIER RECALLS REGARDING THE TURN SIGNAL AND HAZZARD LIGHT SWITCH. GM HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS ON EARLIER VEHICLES. OFTEN REFERRED TO BY OWNERS AS "NERVOUS BLINKER SYNDROME." DEALER PLANS TO CHARGE $250 TO FIX DESPITE RECALLS ON EARLIER MODELS.

BY THE TIME THE WARRANTY WAS UP (ABOUT 40,00 TO 45,000 MILES) THE PAINT WAS REALLY COMMING OFF AND NOW THE FLASHERS/TURN SIGNALS CONSTANTLY CLICK AS IF ON. EVEN THOUGH THEY CONSTANTLY DO THIS, THEY ARE NOT FLASHING. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER ABOUT THE PAINT AND THEY SAID SORRY THE WARRENTY IS UP. IS THEIR ANY RECOURSE I HAVE TO MAKE THEM FIX THE TUR SIGNAL/FLASHER PROBLEM?*AK

This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. General Motors LLC (GM) notified the agency on July 3, 2014, that they are recalling 5,877,718 model year 2000-2005 Chevrolet Impala and Monte Carlo, 1997-2003 Chevrolet Malibu, 2004-2005 Malibu Classic, 1999-2004 Oldsmobile Alero, 1998-2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue, 1999-2005 Pontiac Grand Am and 2004-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix vehicles. In these models, the weight on the key ring and/or road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will install two key rings and an insert in the key slot or a cover over the key head on all ignition keys, free of charge. The recall began on September 9, 2014. GM's number for this recall is 14350.
