“Ever since I bought my 2005 Pontiac VIBE, whenever I take any turn to the left of less than 90-degrees, the turn signal will not cancel. I believe this is a design flaw in the calibration of the signal canceling. My VIBE was one of the very first produced and arrived at my dealer in july of 2004. I have checked with both Pontiac and toyota about any service bulletins covering this situation, and the Pontiac service manager test-rode with me to observe this, but is unaware of any fix?”
