My impala's turn signals & flashers work when they want to only. You can turn it on, then while it is still on it will stop working. Also it refuses to work countless times. It does it when ever it feels like it. Cold or hot outside. Dealership has no idea why. They will look at when it isn't working. When would that be??? They think that it is the sensor is going out, and could cost as much as $900 to fix. Why do I have to pay for this. This should be paid for by Chevy not me.

This was going on for over a year. Did the hazard switch reset thing that would make the turn signals work again but that has stopped working now and the signals and the hazards will not work at all. Trying to find a part or part number for a hazard relay switch is like trying to find the Holy Grail. This is such utter bullshit, it's almost unbelievable.
I have read numerous, and I mean NUMEROUS, complaints on many different message boards from sooooooooo many others with the same vehicle model that are having the same issues.
The Malibu apparently had a recall for this same issue using the same switch, however Impala owners are just getting screwed it looks like.
I've always loved Chevy's, but if they don't do something about this problem with almost each and every newer model year Impala, they are going to lose my business for good!!!
WAKE UP CHEVY!!!!!!

Turn signals stopped working at the discretion of the vehicle. This is a safety issue for someone driving in heavy traffic. Also, there is a threat of getting a ticket for signaling...there needs to be a recall done....does anyone know the process for engaging one? I am 21 so, by default, cops are looking to ticket me for something...Chevy should foot the bill.

Majority of the time the turn signals operate properly, but without notice, the turn signals functionality fails. I never know when the turn signals operation will not function. The operation of the turn signals fail at an estimate of 20 percent of the time which is a hazard. I have read other complaints from owners concerning the same issue for 2000 Impalas. I don't understand why this issue hasn't resulted in a NHTSA recall.

This blows ass when you're in traffic and need to switch lanes - GM needs to take responsibility for this and fix the problem. This is a major safety issue... among others with the shitily wired 2000 Impalas. Just a heads up for others out there, I feel my brights/dimmer switch is near breaking as well. I've noticed that when I put my head lights on bright there is a ton of slack in the switch when I pull it back. I can't wait for the damn thing to fall off... then I can jab a pretty screw driver into it and hope that will work it.

Had the car since new it started after warranty ran out. Found out the if I turn on the hazards and then turn the hazards back off they would start working again.

My first vehicle.. Bought as is at an auto auction. Perfectly fine until on my way home after the purchase. Sure I had test driven it for a good 8miles. No problems at that time. So as I headed home I was making a turn. Out of nowhere my signal blinked erratically and shut off. Happened so many times but other days it wouldn't work for sh*t.. So I had gone to a Chevy dealership to get it checked out and it was the hazard relay. Not much of a problem.. If this is the part that fixes your problem, I hope for the best that it is.. I'm on my 4th vehicle now. I miss that car.

My car's blinkers don't work all the time. The dealer told me if I hit the hazard lights real fast that it will make them go on but still only for a bit before going off again. This has become a big problem especially when I'm traveling in a big city. I wouldn't recommend this car to anybody. I liked it at first but after a few months, everything started falling apart on it.

I purchased the vehicle used and tested it out for a full week. I drove to and from work and I even took it on a road trip. Once the paperwork was signed I started having the problem. I do not know what to do. The Chevy dealer told me it would be $90 and hour at no less than four hours of labor to diagnose. Please help.

How ridiculous that the turning signals basically work when they feel like it.... sometimes flick them on and they work fine. Other times flick them on and nothing... after much fiddling I figured out if you click hazard lights on and off multiple times the turning signals will start functioning again!!! This is a complete pain in the butt, I won't get it fixed, because compared to some other problems the car has, this is trivial... this problem started when there was approx 125,000 miles on the car!!!!!
