| Blinkers intermittently work. every time i take it in for diagnosis and repair the blinkers work just fine and i can't get them to not work. normally they will work immediately after turning on engine, then after a few turns stop working. other times they will not work at all upon turning on engine. when the problem first began, i could turn on the left and right signal a few times and then the blinkers would work. now it has gotten so bad this no longer works. my vin falls just outside the recall number c258800 so a dealer is working with me to see if they can get it covered. this is a serious safety risk to yourself and other drivers! i have learned that the flasher assembly is generally what needs to be replaced which about $40.00 plus tax and labor. i have also heard that the multi function switch generally needs to be replaced with the flasher assembly as they both are connected to the blinker system. another issue could include the body control module which needs to be done at the dealer because certain codes need to be entered. oldsmobile needs to include more vins in this recall. i hope this complaint helps others. | |||
