I had this prob. with my 2000 jetta VW. But i have a honest guy that works on my car, sepciales in VW's but doesn't work at that crappy VW of America. Anyways point being is CHECK YOUR FUSE BOX. My fuse was broken but not TOO bad so it would be stuck in park at times, but then other times not. Then one day i was out of town and it would NOT let my get out of park, i freaked out called the guy told him and he drove fuses up to me.... myn was a blue 15 fuse, to see if its burn simply take it out (the fuse box is on your driver side door) you can pull each one out or try to translate the "key", when you pull one of the fuses out hold it up to the light the metal should be TUCHING no breaks, if there is a break or a black/gray spot your fuse got burnt out! If its not that... that your just screwed.

What causes a problem with the hazard button?
some times its cause by turn signal fluidI have the same car with the same problem. I found out that heat from dash and poor design of the hazard switch location cause the failure. There is a recall in the works for this, but not until 2005. What's fluid got to do with it?The hazard button is hardly used at all so after some times it sticks in position, try turning it on and off to try and free it.
Why would the turn signals on a 2002 Chevy Malibu only work part time?
there is a recall on the hazard switch call the gm dealerAnswerThe recall on the hazard switch only applies to the 2001 Malibu. It is accessible by removing the front dash panel. It's located behind the hazard button. Actually the hazard button is part of the switch assembly. AnswerI just had the same problem fixed on my '02 Malibu and it was the Hazard switch. AnswerI had the same problem on my '02 Malibu it was the hazard switch too. This should be a recall. AnswerThe flasher is built on to the hazard switch. Flashers go out occasionally, like fuses and lamps. This does not mean they should do a recall. They don't do a recall for your headlights because they burned out, or recall your gas tank because it ran out of gas. It is a disposable part, buy a replacement. However, it would be nice if they put the flasher in the fuse box where it would be easily accessible, instead of behind plasic molding that makes up the dash. I was able to put off fixing it for a long time by turning my hazards on and off if the turn signal was not coming on ( this worked every time for me to get my turn signal to work again for a while).When you guy buy the part, if you plan on doing this relatively simple repair on your own, some stores say that the flasher is part of the body control module. You do not have to replace the body control module. They don't know what they are talking about.
How does the recall process work?

Why would the turn signals on a 2001 Pontiac Grand AM GT sometimes not work?
actually alot of times its the hazard button ( your flasher) it happens alot with malibus / grand ams recall There is no recall I had this same problem with my Grand Am GT. The dealership had to change out the turn switch to fix the problem. I have a 02 Grand Am GT that had the same problem.The turn switch had to be replaced.Call your local dealer,there is no recall only a service bulletin,because as long as the car is not 10 years old,or has under 150,000 miles,the replacement is at no cost to you.This is what I did,the problem is fixed,it did not cost me a dime!

Where is the relay for the hazard lights on a 2002 Malibu?
General Motors issued a letter describing a turn signal/hazard warning flashers becoming inoperative. The letter was dated April 2006. It was not a recall. This condition occurred on my 2002 Malibu LS. I took it to the dealer for the no charge repair. The problem was in the sensors. They had the car for about 6 hours attempting to track it down. They found the problem sensor and corrected it at no charge. The offer was good for 10 years and/or 150,000 miles. I know this doesn't directly answer your question but will add some insight into your problem.
