The result of this is that cars think I maybe returning back to the other lane. Potentially I could get fined for by a cop for this, as it is incorrect indicating, or it could be a safety issue if vehicles think I am going to move in that direction but I don't. I reported this to the mazda dealer, as I have never had this problem with any other car before. They had a bit of a look at it, but said it was fine, and that is normal. Any other mazda owners have this problem when indicating?
The thing is that it doesn't always do it, so it is intermittent. So if it was normal it should be doing it all the time, not only sometimes. I am guessing it is a problem with a contact or the spring, where when it is flicked back (normal action), it is over correcting and hitting the other electrical contact to signal in the opposite direction.
The other problem I have been having with it, is the Map/GPS is malfunctioning, and the blue arrow is often not on the road, for the journey, it moves all over the place. So if you are going somewhere and using the GPS , it is usless, as it keeps saying 'route recalculation' as it can't work out where I am exactly. This is another intermittent problem. Beucase if I stop, switch the car off, and then restart it, which reboots the GPS,it often fixes itself. In this case mazda has reflashed the maps on it, so hopefully that fixes it. Any other mazda owners have this problem with GPS?
These types of issues sometime turn me off this sort of technology in cars.
