Your hazard switch has gone bad. It's a known problem w/ the cars. Hope it's under warranty b/c you have to pull the dash to change it out. Happened to me.

Hey thanks Corbra4B! This is one of those "Good News" - "Bad News", huh...It's only the hazard switch ; BUT...you have to tear out dash. Warranty? What's that!! Never happens during that time. Thanks again, .

Default Turn Signals

Just press the hazzard switch several times in a row. Fixed mine. Might recur, but maybe will hold you for a while.

That'll work some of the time, but finally mine got to where even that method only worked 1/2 the time. I had to manually flick the lights w/ the stalk; got annoying.
