Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Design problem: on my 2004 honda element, the turn signal indicator is not loud enough to hear, or bright enough to see. furthermore, it seems the (automatic) switch to turn the turn signal off is not adjusted properly. the result of these design flaws is that i find that my turn signal is left on after making turns that are < 90 degrees. after reviewing this problem with the dealer, they said nothing could be done about the problem. reccomendation: make all turn signals meet minimum audible/ visual standards and have time out devices that automatically turn off turn signals after a period of time. *nm
