MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: EA02037 FOR THE SAME ISSUE. MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED 1 DAY AFTER THE DEADLINE OF 5/1/2001. THE TURN SIGNALS WORK INTERMITTENTLY. WE ARE ABLE TO GET THEM TO FUNCTION BY PUTTING THE SIGNAL INTO THE "ON" POSITION AND PRESSING THE HAZARD LIGHT BUTTON ON AND OFF AND THE TURN SIGNAL WILL STAY ON UNTIL SWITCHED OFF. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER AND BOTH CONFIRMED I WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I FOUND OUT THIS WAS HAPPENING PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE AFTER PURCHASE. I DO NOT FEEL GM COMPLIED FULLY WITH RECALLING VEHICLES AND STILL PUT IN FAULTY SWITCHES AFTER THE DATE AS I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS THE PROBLEM AND WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *TR
