This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2000 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated unless the turn signals are being used, it is impossible for an operator to know when they are operable. The intermittent failure of the turn signals and hazards has been occurring for a few years. The frequency of the failures has increased and the failure duration has lengthened. Initially, the failure lasted for only a few seconds. The solution the contact discovered was to punch the hazard lights button a couple of times and this would somehow cause the turn signals to start operating. The problem was due to age and wear as well as bad parts. The headlights, window motors and driver's seat motor have all been replaced. The failure mileage was approximately 82,500.

Turn signals only work intermittently. We never know when they will stop working or start. Can't fix. Have owned this 2000 Corvette for 7 years now. We have had the turn signals replaced trying to correct the problem, over and over again, but they still will just only work intermittently. My husband is hard of hearing and he doesn't realize they are not working. I am worried about his safety. In addition, it has been very costly and frustrating to us to keep trying and trying to fix it with no avail.
