What owners wrote
Turn signals became inoperative while turning, causing the car following to assume I was no longer turning, and accelerate....rear-ending me. This is a recurrent issue that needs resolved. Also, after the collision, the hazard lights would not work. Also, just saw the recall on the 2000-2001 grand aims, allergy, and mailbox from GM for the exact same issue. I believe the recall should be mandated to include the 1999 model year as well.
Clicking noises around steering wheel, was told by dealer it is the multi-function switch, the hazard switch has a special policy but not the multi-function switch which is different according to GM.
