Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL QUIT WORKING. I HAVE TO TURN IT ON AND WHEN I HAVE MADE MY TURN I HAVE TO FLIP IT OFF MYSELF OR IT DOES NOT GO OFF. I BELIEVE THIS FAILS TO COMPLY WITH FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NUMBER 108, LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVISES AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT. IF THE TURN-SIGNALS DO NOT AUTOMATICALLY DEACTIVATE, THE DRIVER MAY FAIL TO TURN THEM OFF MANUALLY. AN ERRONEOUS ACTIVE TURN-SIGNAL MAY MISLEAD PEDESTRIANS AND OTHER DRIVERS, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. OF COURSE THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION. I DO NOT KNOW THE CAUSE OF THE SAFETY RISK. I GLANCE THROUGH THE SAFETY ISSUE RECALLS AND SAW THAT A 2019 GM AUTOMOBILE WAS RECALLED WITH THIS ISSUE STATING THE FMVSS SAFETY STANDARD; THEREFORE, I AM SUBMITTING THIS SAME ISSUE. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V117000.
I NOTICE AS I WAS DRIVING THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD STAY ON WHEN I AM NOT PUSHING ON THE BRAKE. IT DOES NOT MATTER THE SPEED THAT I AM GOING. BUT WHEN I DO PUSH ON THE BRAKES THE LIGHTS GO OFF, WHICH I DON'T THINK SHOULD BE HAPPENING SINCE THE DRIVER BEHIND ME WILL NOT KNOW THAT I AM STOPPING. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I DON'T THINK THIS SHOULD BE HAPPENING ON A CAR THAT WAS 2 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME THIS STARTED. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MY DEALERSHIP THAT OTHER CUSTOMER HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. *TR
