Sorry but it's not a safety issue, it's a worn out electrical part. And unfortunately at 7 years and 75K miles, your car is out of warranty. That means you have to pay. If you love the car so much, $750 is a lot less than a new car payment every month.

I just had a problem wiuth my blinkers. I found a DIY on new tib on how to remove the BCM, where to order the relay, and how to install.
$4 for a relay
$6 for shipping
$15 to unsoldier the old relay and re soldier the new relay.
$25 and a couple of days work as oppossed to hundreds or even thousands.
the only reason it took a few days because I dont have a garage and it was rainy and cold.
