| Description of the problem | While attempting to make a left hand turn with the directional signal activated, several vehicles attempted to pass on my left. To my dismay i discovered that the directional indicator was signaling a right turn while in the left activated position. This has happened several times. Dealer cannot reproduce problem, so no action is taken. The problem has progressed to now i can change the directional from left to right by raising or lowering the tilt steering wheel when the signal indicator is activated. Some times it just does not go on at all. |
