turn signal stays on for minimum of 3 blinks

[calbear88]

Hi, I have a 2012 V6 Genesis. I notice that when I use the turn signals, it signals for a minimum of three blinks, even when I signal quickly and the stalk is back in the center position.

I find it a bit annoying because the signal light keeps going off even when I'm done changing lanes.

Has anyone else noticed this behavior? Can anyone with a 2012 signal for less than 3 blinks? I've never had a car that did this before the Genesis.

Thanks so much for all your help with my questions

It's called a "lane changing device". Every car that I've ever owned blinked three times. I think some very high end cars it can be adjusted but I'd bet not on the Genesis.

That is indeed very disturbing. I would suggest you have your car crushed and melted for scrap.

it a 'high end' feature.... Audi, Mercedes, BMW, lexus all do this. Its actually pretty convenient just a flick gives you three blinks.

I actually find the Genesis a little too easy to move the stalk to full on..then I have move it all the way back down manually, exhausting

How quick do you change lanes that 3 blinks is too much ?

Its a feature not a bug. If you continue with pushing the stalk all the way up or down will turn the blinker completely on.

I think he is holding the stalk up...will blink three times more after he lets it go.

You dont have to hold that up any more.... you bought a luxury car Just give it a little flick and you get three blinks for the lane change

He's one of "them": signals after he's changed lanes.

That's right, it blinks three more times after the stalk is back into the off position, whether I signal with a short tap, or signal by fully engaging the blinker and turning back to the off.

So 6 total? Not the intended 3?

If i do a quick split second tap it is 3 blinks. If I fully engage the blinker them return the stalk to off, it blinks three more times after the stalk has been set to off.

get used to it, it is a higher end car! My Escalade ESV does the same thing. I like it

Then don't do that.

Then don't do that.

It's a bit dangerous driving without ever fully engaging the turn signal

Sounds like it just might be a bit dangerous that you get out on the road at all...
