VEHICLE TURN SIGNAL RANDOMLY INDICATES THE WRONG DIRECTION. HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES IN VEHICLE. IT APPEARS TO AFFECT THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL MORE THAN THE LEFT. OCCASIONALLY IT WILL FLASH THE WRONG TURN SIGNAL ONCE, THEN IT FLASHES THE CORRECT ONE. HOWEVER THERE HAS BEEN INSTANCES WHERE IT FLASHED THE WRONG DIRECTION THE ENTIRE TIME THE LEVER WAS IN POSITION. DURING A VISIT TO DEALER FOR A RECALL ON ANOTHER PART, THE SERVICE MANAGER INFORMED ME THAT THERE ARE NEW MODULE UPDATES AVAILABLE. HOWEVER HE WOULD NOT INFORM ME WHAT THEY FIXED, AND THEY WOULD END UP COSTING ME $90/ SERVICE FLASH. THIS SHOULD NOT BE LEGAL FOR THE DEALERS TO CHARGE FOR A SAFETY RELATED UPDATE. PROVIDED THAT THE UPDATE IS FOR THAT ISSUE
