Default Turn Signal releasing?

I"m having problems with my left turn signal releasing back into place after i make the turn. i'm wondering if there is something that can be done to fix this.

my left turn signal for some reason keeps blinking after i make the turn. i should have it checked out next time i get my oil change at the dealer.

Over here in Europe we are having the same problem with the right turning signal! As well on a MY04 and MY05. You have to turn the steering wheel a bit further off centre on this side to make the turn signal resease or you do have to do it manually! The problem is only in slight turns when the steering wheel is less than 90 degrees turned. On the left side, the turning signal will always release, on the right side the steering wheel has to be turned a little more to release. The problem has been reported to Honda by us, let's see what they come up with...

The turn signal in my 02 has to be manually turned off when making turns of about 45* or less. This happens for both right/left turns. I havn't had this problem with other cars that I've driven on the same roads. Is this a fixable problem? This is annoying at times as I've forgotten to manually shut the signal off and will be driving with light still blinking.

I laugh to myself when I see people driving along with their blinker on and think "what an idiot"...that is, until I find myself doing it!!

I almost always turn my blinker off after merging or whatever. That was until I got my S and when I have the top down I don't always hear the blinker sound, and I will forget to turn it off if its not a turn sharp enough to do it automatically.

DOH!!!

only my left turn signal is like that where it doesn't release after making a turn. sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. the degree of the turn doesn't really make a difference at times.

i'm just going to have the thing fixed or modified because it is still under warranty.

Mine has been this way since day 1, just figured it was a poor design and meant to be that way.
