Sometimes when I turn on my signal to take a right turn the switch doesn't flip back when coming out of the corner. It should flip back when the steering wheel is centered but it flips back when you turn the steering wheel a little bit over the center.

It also sometimes happends that it does flip back but that he probably does it with so many force that it shoots right through to the left turn signal where he causes my left signal light to light up for one time. It does not stay in the left position but it's quite annoying that it light up at all.

This problem occured two weeks ago and I have the idea it has to do with the extreme heat right now in Holland, because in the morning when it's cooler I have it much less than in the afternoon when the car has been baking the whole day in the sun.

It seems that something inside the steering house is expanding due to the heat what causes the switch to "hang".

Anyone seen the same problem?
 
mine has done this a few times and it is annoying but fiat says its because its new which is why is so sharp at turning off it should wear in after a while..... 3 weeks later and it is slightly better but it still does it

I have my GP now for three months and have the problem since two weeks so it can't be that it's new.

But do you have the hanging problem or the flip to the other side problem?

Do you also have it when the temperature outside is high?

Thanks!
 
Sounds like a dodgy connection...but could be made worse by the heat. Doesn't seem a big deal and would suggest mentioning at next service or take it in next.

To be honest...I've had similar problems with loads of cars in the past. I remember my Porsche would only switch off the indicator 50% of the time, and I had to do it manually.
