Turn Signal Goes Out
2005 Chevrolet Cobalt
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Chevrolet dealer.
CarComplaints.com Notes: The Cobalt was introduced to replace two of Chevy’s smaller cars, the Cavalier and Prizm. But the compact’s fresh start that Chevy was hoping for was riddled with issues, most notably widespread power steering failure.
The power steering failed so often that GM was forced to issue a recall in March, 2010. Great, but what about other problems like the key getting stuck in the ignition or all the other electrical demons this car possesses?
And, oh yes — then there’s the terribly dangerous issue where the Cobalt randomly shuts off while driving. As it turns out, that problem is related to GM’s massive 2014 recall for a dangerous ignition switch defect. A recall that eventually ballooned to 2.6 million vehicles in one of the automotive industry’s biggest scandals.

I went to the beach, blinker went out on the way down, i'm assuming. Came home, replaced bulb. No big deal, right? 3 Weeks later, same blinker goes out. Ok..,maybe a bad bulb....Repeat. It's happened so many times now I've lost track. The driving light will still work, the park the blinks will just randomly stop. Not sure if the bulbs or what. The bulbs don't look burnt out when I remove them to change them. Suggestions?
