EXTERIOR LIGHTING | 9/6/2009 - MENTOR, OH
I PURCHASED A 2001 OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE USED IN FEBRUARY 2004. AFTER USING THE HAZARD LIGHTS IN AUGUST 2004, THERE HAVE BEEN PROBLEMS WITH BOTH THE TURN SIGNALS AND THE HAZARD LIGHTS. THE HAZARD LIGHTS WILL NOT WORK AT ALL ANYMORE WITHOUT CONTINUOUSLY HOLDING THE BUTTON IN MANUALLY. THE TURN SIGNALS WORK INTERMITTENTLY. THEY WILL WORK FINE FOR A WHILE, AND THEN COMPLETELY STOP. THIS OCCURS ON ALMOST A DAILY BASIS. THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT IT IS TO REPEATEDLY PRESS THE HAZARD LIGHT SWITCH OVER AND OVER WHICH CONFUSES OTHER DRIVERS AND TAKES ATTENTION AWAY FROM THE ROAD. THIS IS A MAJOR HAZARD WHEN TRYING TO TURN FROM BUSY STREETS. WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND A NEW HAZARD SWITCH FOR THE VEHICLE.
