Clicking noise most like the hazard signal randomly clicks for long and short periods of time for no apparent reason and is extremely annoying. Replaced the relay switch but still have the problem.

My turn signals will not be on, but the clicking is incessant. My turn signals don't actually flash any lights when this happens, but it's really annoying.

Just like my daughter's 03 Grand Am, my alero will sound as if turn signal is on when it is not. I am not sure whether it is the hazard switch or the turn signal/w.wiper unit that needs to be replaced as was the case with the Grand Am. Annoying. Too many of us have the problem for GM to look the other way as it is obviously a problem common to alot of vehicles.

Have the same problem with the hazard clicking sound. Replaced but still doing the same thing. Currently experiencing the engine running hot. Had the intake gasket replaced just about 3 years ago after overheating issue.

this is very rediciously dangerous and it needs to be fixed not sure if the hazzards come on at all, doesn,t click but my blinkers keep failing all the time numerous times daily . they dont come on or they stop working in the beginning,middle,even the end of the turn u have to hit the dash above the hazzard to sometimes maybe get them to come on and other times not its very scarry, cosoming and distracting not mention completely dangerous all the time!!!!

Makes horrible noise and turn signal doesn't come on. Only does this so often off and on every few weeks. I just wait it out currently but glad to see i"m not the only one and that it was recalled for it. I am the second owner of this car and just purchased in 09 so I am guessing the first owner did not take care of this recall and that is my problem.

I HATE MY ALERO!! NEVER buy one! I have put THOUSANDS of dollars into my Alero and I continue to have more problems. ALL of the problems listed by others, mine has had! I think it's BS that GM isn't paying for all of the repairs to fix the problems THEY caused when building the vehicle. I treat my car like it's gold, and still I get the blinker noise constantly, all of my dash lights come on, my brakes pulse, etc etc etc......

Turn signals/hazards don't always work. Sometimes need to turn on hazards to force turn signal to work.
