Default Turn signal question
Maybe it's me but when I use my turn signal and complete my turn the lever doesn't set itself back and continues to signal. Is this a problem or have I just been spoiled the last few years with my other cars?

It's a problem, they are supposed to return to off after a turn. (as long as it is a sharp enough turn, if it is a slow sweeper, it may not trip off automatically)

There is a "lane-change" feature where the turn signal will flash three times when slightly depressed. If this is what it is, then this is normal.
Otherwise, it sounds like a problem for the dealer...

Mine once in a while actually turns off with to slight a turn. There may be an adjustment for this I don't have a clue.

I looked through the service manual (somewhat quickly) I didnt see anything, but you have a good point, there may be a way.

Default interesting question......
here in NJ nobody uses turn signals.....they just cut across 3 lanes of traffic whenever they please.....I am surprised DC doesn't offer a NJ turn signal delete option........and a redundant, extra loud horn option.

A bunch of y'all must have moved down here because that's exactly how folks drive. Some of then don't even slap the blinker on when they turn into a street or driveway.
