Default Turn signal

This isn't a big issue to me but i am just wondering if anyone else is having this problem. When my turn signal resets, the opposite direction clicks on. For example if i am turning right and have my right turn signal on, once i have completed the turn and the signal cancels itself it resets hard enough that the left signal turns on for three blinks. I know about the lane change feature of the turn signal or whatever it is. It just seems like the lever is loose or the switch is too sensitive. Anyone else getting this.

Still under warranty? If yes, have the dealer replace the stalk.
If warranty has expired, have the lane change feature turned off.
It could be considered a safety issue if someone erroneously thought you were about to turn.

All JKs have the multifunction switch sensitive enough that they will trigger the 3 clicks before the switch locks into position. I think what you have is a too powerful spring and is tripping the sensor on the other side of the signal, if that makes sense.

If it really bothers you take it to the dealer. It'll be a warranty item.

same with mine. The only difference is when mine kicks off by itself it doesnt do it but if i have to manually kick it off it does it. I thought i was just clicking it off to hard but thats not the case. i get to pissed off at the esp to worry about that though
