Overly Sensitive Turn Signal Cancellation -Anyone Else's Experience?

[Adospeed]

I put my turn signal on to merge into a dedicated left turn lane, or dedicated right turn lane. I slightly turn the wheel in the direction I want to go, and when I straighten the slightly off center steering wheel back to 12 o clock/straight, it cancels the turn signal (turn signal stalk click back up to it default position). So I have to then put move the stalk up or down to reactivate the turn signal.

It seems to me that the turn signal cancellation is overly sensitive based on the minor input to the steering wheel. Anyone else notice this? If not, pay attention on your next drive and report back, yeah?

Just curious if your Mav has Co-Pilot 360 and if it does whether your turn signal experience is the same when you turn lane keeping off.

It does not. My Mav Hybrid is an XLT, no add-ons. But I'm guessing it's triggered by the amount of steering wheel movement off of the 12 o clock baseline.....but it's such a small amount of movement to merge in to a dedicated and correction back to 12 o clock that seems to me, to be very small tolerance. Like it should be more movement off center and back to 12 o clock. Just seems overly tight tolerance off of center.

I have noticed this as well, several times. Not sure what the right description would be but yours is as good as any. The turn signal stalk seems, to me at least, a little “delicate”, in that it feels like it could break easily. I’ve never noticed this with any other vehicle I’ve driven or owned.

our escape has a quick release if you press down light releases quick if you press harder it
release normal

Huh....I'm gonna be more conscious of that and see the result.

In my lariat with adaptive cruise control the left turn slight down position cancels the adaptive slow down mph and the speed increases as wheel is slightly turned to change lanes. You do not have to accelerate yourself cruise resumes. I assume that if someone is in blind spot the speed increase is cancelled and lane keeping is active.
