is it still under warranty? if it is, get it back to your Fiat dealer.

does the indicator stalk move to the opposite direction when it clicks off? or is it just the indicators that flash?

these cars have a weird and wonderful setup the steering column is the main hub for all lights ,indicaters, wipers etc, now i had a problem with the right indicator and found that moving the steering wheel in and out and up and down it seemed to reseat all the connections with the componetnts.also i was parking the car and had to do a lot of wheel turning and for some unknown reason my headlights came on and wouldnt go off until i restarted the car and moved the steering wheel again.But as your car is new it must go back to the dealer first ok .

I think what you are doing is trying to cancel the lane change indicator.

When changing lanes a half click on the stalk puts the indicator on for three flashes only, then switches off. If you try and cancel that it will flash three times to the right, which you then try and cancel which puts the other indicator on again.

A full click on the stalk takes you to the properly 'on' position, in either direction.

But I could always be wrong.

There has been a flash update for the body computer for this problem for a month via examiner web. The problem was due to a bounce from the switch which was reactivating the lane change function, the software has changed the switch function to have a signal for a set period of time so the bounce does not activate the lane change. This software completely eliminates this problem.
