Reported at 49,000 miles, November 2017 Injury

The left and right turn signals have malfunctioned, I.e., they either do not stay on longer than one flash cycle, or they shut off prematurely. The function is not being confused with the 3 flash lane change feature this feature works 100% of the time. Premature shutting off of the turn signal typically (but not always) occurs when making a turn from a full stop. When the signal is actuated, it flashes for 10 30 seconds while sitting at a stop light (wheels are positioned straight ahead).
