Turn Signal Issue

[Cyber-Base-Bronco117]

Every time I make a quick sharp turn while signaling my turn signal automatically signals in the opposite direction as I bring the steering wheel back around. Thought I was going crazy and just hitting the signal by accident but I was able to recreate it multiple times. Posted a video of it on Reddit and it seems like there’s lots of people with the same issue.

Mine does that too. Make a sharp fast right out of a parking lot, and next think I know my left turn signal is on.

Yes! I thought I was losing my mind! Or never happens with someone else in the Bronco, and only happens at 1 corner for me. My family drives it fairly often and they never say it happens to them

When googling the metallic noise my blinker stem made when it would return to center, I came across F150 forums talking about what you describe. Sounds like the stem is being return with enough force for contact to be made for the opposite turn signal. My blinker switch was replaced under warranty, and I imagine yours would be too

Same problem. Indicate a right turn and get a left turn signal on the rebound. I thought it might go away after break-in. But with 16K miles, the Bronco is well past that.

I'm having the same problem. Thought I was crazy, hah. Did you ever have the column replaced? And if so, did it fix the issue? Thanks!

Mine did it all the time when new, but now, a couple years later, it only happens every once in a while.

I have the same problem. It only happens when I signal for a right turn, then let the steering wheel spin back to center. It doesn't happen when making a left turn, but then I'm not cranking the wheel as far over.

There's either a weak spring or a detent not shaped correctly in the turn signal switch.

I'm debating if I want to let them replace the switch or just live with it.

Hmm, happened to me twice today.
I assumed I was hitting the turn signal stalk and didn't feel it but now I think maybe not.

This has been raised before, it’s been an issue in all models since the initial 2021 release. It’s never been fixed or addressed by Ford.

I personally gave up trying with my dealer, I’ve had them look more than 5 times and they “can’t reproduce it”. Happened on my ‘21 and happens on my ‘23.

I am not the only one I see. My dealer said they can’t reproduce. I keep getting blown off every time I bring my Bronco in. .

My 21 Bronco does it too. How do I contact Ford with my information?

EXACT same story. My 21 Base does it, the 23 Badlands did as well. (Traded the 23 off)
Ford = "tech cannot duplicate the issue."

Makes me wonder if an extended warranty is worth a damn if they are just going to wave off all the smaller shit that happens.

 

[BroncoDymond88]

Yeah 3 model years in and this hasn't been addressed, it is pretty sad.
