Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: With the steering wheel turned several degrees off center you cannot activate the turn signal. the lever will not catch and is released, causing the signal not to activate. one remedy is to steer the vehicle in such a way as to keep the steering wheel straight up and down which will allow the signal lever to catch. this is an extremely unsafe condition. the end result in many situations is that you cannot activate the turn signal. the dealer has said that this is a design defect and cannot be corrected. *ak
