| Description of the problem | Turn signal. When turn signal is automatically cancelled as the steering wheel is straightened, sometimes it actuates the 'lane change' three-flash signal in the opposite direction - presumably because the signal over-travels and momentarily travels in the opposite direction. For example, after making a right turn, the signal cancels and signals three flashes in the left direction. This has resulted in a person pulling out in front of me because they apparently thought i was going to change lanes to the left immediately after my right turn. This only happens intermittently, but i first noticed it shortly after i purchased the vehicle. |
