Having trouble with the 3 burst turn signal
when going slow it works ok, but when I attempt to use it on the highway it does not want to work. Maybe I am not use to it, but it feels rather cheap vs BMW/Range Rover.
Anyone else have issues with it or just don't even use it?

I found it just takes a bit of practice to not engage it fully. I just wish MB had chosen 4 blinks rather than the 3 blinks, I would feel better with a bit more notice going out to the tailgaters behind me

No issues at all. However I have the pre-face lift bigger indicator stalk. The 2014s have the smaller ones like the C's
Signal before lane change is a sign of weakness.... j/k

No issues at all, just a flick of the stalk and it signals love that feature

I feel that if I hold it too long it won't engage the 3 burst. hard to describe but BMW / Range rover has that point of resistance where you can really feel it between the toggle and straight up blinker.
I played around with it and I guess I need to 'flick it' as one suggested.

Jost don't hold it for too long. It will give you only one or two blinks depending how long you hold it. Just very quick "impulse" from the stalk gives you the three blinks.

yea thanks, I think that is my problem. I just need to press it quick and release. I was holding it too long.

Mine works fine, but I seldom use it. Prepare to hold for five or six flashes. With today's drivers and the multiple distractions, most will miss the first two if not all three flashes. I would prefer five at least.
