Can anyone report if their turn signals cancel properly?
I have about 300miles on my hatch and have noticed if I don't cut the wheels hard to make a turn or just a Y in the road they wont cancel. All my other Toyota's never did this! I have even noticed that I had left them blinking like an idiot for miles, inviting people to pull out in front of me:mad:
WTH? And this car has an electronic flasher I don't hear any clicking. The center dash indicators are too far for me to notice them blinking. Any comments?

Same frustration here, along with headlights that don't auto shut off like the last 4 Toyota vehicles I owned.:thumbdown: :thumbdown: :thumbdown:

Gotta learn to check.

I don't know why Toyota got rid of the clicking sound for the blinker. The wife's Sienna is the same way.

I'm much to young to be driving around the world to the left.

My hatch does not do this and my horn is not sensitive either.

Yep....I've noticed the same thing. Sensitive horn, blinkers that don't turn off, rattles when in reverse or backing up, and strange smell from A/C

by sensitive i meant easy for it to be activated. It seems the same cars with the turn signal issue only need to lightly hit the steering wheel for the horn to activate.

I have the rattling while backing up problem. Any fix for it?

Do you have a liftback? Is the rattle in the hatch door, the console or elsewhere?

Liftback. Rattling comes from somewhere in the front of the car whenever I've in reverse.

I have not notice any trouble. Mine has the normal signal sound and you have to turn at lease a 1/2 turn to get the signal to cancel.

What does that have to do with the topic of discussion in this thread?

It's the exhaust
no fix
It's just the torque on the engine in reverce pulling against the exhaust, in drive it pushes against and there is no noise.
As the hangers wear/stretch over time the rattle will go away.

My turn signals don't like to cancel out either, even after a sharp turn.. but it's alright, it could be a lot worse. I had an 06 Scion xA and the horn was extremely sensitive and I'd honk it accidentally and scare myself, hahaha :bellyroll: It's nice this horn isn't as sensitive.

I've gotten into the habit of manually turning off the turn signal when I am convinced that everyone can see me turning. Seems to extend the life of the bulb...

Jesus Christ guys, though he has nothing to do with it, some of us want to sell these things one day! lets not list our problems too clearly for the general public:eek:

(though i actually dont have any of these particular problems, had the ac and rattle one time in reverse, but that was when it was brand new and nothing since then, also the glove compartments line up now also, if you have that problem like i did.)

my blinkers don't cancel either, unless i make a hard turn. it could be worse. and they DO make a sound, its just extremely soft. it doesn't bother me too much. i've just gotten into the habit of checking. i've had my car for a little over a month now.

HAHA, mine click, but it is very soft. I havent noticed that my turn signal doesnt go off. It seems about normal (1/2 turn).

Like many others, I just made it a habit to manually turn off my turn signals.

As for the A/C. Well for me the A/C smells only after I turn the A/C off and if I leave my car on vent (the outside air coming in not the circulation one). To get rid of the smell I quickly put my temp to hot for a min then back to cold. The smell is usually gone.

As for rattle. I currently don't have any as of yet.

if you don't really hear the flasher clicking.... Hmm.. don't drive a GM car??! cuz you'd hear it even less!

i say the clicking is about the same as the echo's... there was once i hit the flashing by accident and didn't notice, but i did when i saw it flashing on the dashboard.

the only car i've driven/seen that cancels the flashers with 1/3 or 1/4 turns on Y exits or wide turns is my dad's plymouth voyageur 90. both my echo and my yaris required about 1/2 turn... my sister's golf 2001 and 07 camry did the same.... ~1/2 turn

I hadn't stopped to consider the volume of my turn signal click until this thread. It is very soft, but I haven't had any issues with it. I suppose I would file this under "different from what I'm used to" rather than an actual "problem." This may actually be one instance where the center-mounted gauge cluster makes since to me, as in my last car, my steering wheel sometimes obscured things at the periphery of the guages (like turn signals) so I had to rely upon hearing them more than I do in the Yaris.

Now, if they're blinking, I can't help but see it.

Haven't had any problems with them not turning off when I want them to. At least, not any more than I've had in any car I've driven.

Yup, i was comparing the flashers and they are the same...
