| Component | EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Directional signal tone is very low and extremely difficult to hear. Dealer tells me that there is no way to increase the volume. Safety issue is with the fact that it is very easy to leave the signal on if you do not make a wide turn. This distracts other drivers who are expecting you to make a turn. I realize that the signal flashes on the dashboard but it is not always easy to spot when you are driving in heavy traffic. Updated 01/09/08. *lj updated 12/12/07 |
