Description of the problem | At about 58k miles i started to notice when i turned the turn signal to indicate a left turn the right blinker would come on and then after a moment switch to the left or not switch at all. This was totally random. I tried to capture it on camera to show my local dealer before the 60k warranty ran out but i could never capture it because it was so random and they could not replicate it. Over the last year the issue has gotten worse where nearly every time i use the left turn signal the right signal will turn on instead. The last time my car was in for service i mentioned it again and told them i think they can replicate the issue because it happens nearly every time now. When i indicate a left signal and the right signal comes on other cars think i am merging into them while my signal is stuck. The signal stock seems to have an electrical issue sending the correct signal to the lights. This is a clear safety issue and i hope it does not cause accidents as the signals become stuck. This occurs regardless of vehicle speed. |
