Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Self-canceling turn signals turn off after 7 seconds when traveling at highway or interstate speeds. This is what the owner's manual describes as 'lane change mode'. This requires me to reactivate the signals at least 3 times prior to making a turn. The self-canceling function will only work properly when speed is less than 25 MPH. I have had this at the local dealer for 10 days and they are unable to fix it or provide any explanation on why it is not working properly or on how to select normal mode verses lane change mode. …”
