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

(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.

no issues here... flasher is electronic but i can still hear the click...

Yeah, yeah, yeah... they do click. I've listened for it. Make fun of the old guy will ya? I am not getting a hearing aid!

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.
