c300 Turn Signals a problem?

I've noticed a few times when I try to make a right and turn the signal on, the signals get jammed if I change my mind and want to continue driving straight. Does this happen to anyone? No matter how gentle I set the turn signals it stays on. this happens randomly and wont let me switch back unless I actually make the turn.

You mean that you cannot return the stalk back to the center position manually? That is not normal.

What is worse? Putting on a turn signal and NOT turning (changing mind) or turning and NOT using turn signal?

(j/k)

LOL

Sounds like a warranty issue to me.

are you referring to it not self canceling when not making a turn you intended for? cause in my experience, most cars require the steering wheel to turn a good distance for it to self cancel. sounds normal to me

Yes, that is what I meant.. Like I would be forced to make the turn I didnt want to make >=( I cant put it back to the center position it only allows me to change it to the left signal... PPL must think I am confused when I am driving because as I try to cancel it and put it back to center position I am instead signaling left then right then left again...lol It is a bit annoying. What should I do?

Yeah they are both pretty bad... Number one can cause drivers around me to get angry Number 2 will end up in an accident,
I dont think it is smart driving straight with the signal flashing lol..

I think i know what your describing.

Try this to correct (if you were going to make a right turn and decide not to)

You hit stalk all the way up to signal right then decide against it

Hit the stalk down but just halfway past center not all the way down...should set left blinker on for 2-3 seconds and then shut off

hitting stalk up or down slightly turns on signal for a few seconds and then auto stops so you dont have to click stalk all the way up or down
