THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL DOESNT WORK PROPERLY WHEN IT IS ENGAGED. SOMETIMES IT COMES ON WHEN IT IS PUSHED AND OTHER TIMES IT DOESNT. I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY KEEP MY EYE ON IT TO MAKE SURE IT IS WORKING WHEN I NEED IT. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD DO TO THE FACT I HAVE TO TAKE MY EYES OFF THE ROAD TO MAKE SURE MY TURN SIGNAL IS WORKING BEFORE I MAKE A LETF TURN.
