Turn Signal problem #1

Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. Insufficient electrical contact can occur in the torque sensor that controls the power assist operation of the electric power steering gear box. The torque sensor could send improper electrical signals. Dealers will repair the electric steering gear box. Right turn signal does not cancel after a hard right turn. Vehicle would pull out in front of the consumer because they think he's going to make a right turn.

All the lights came on not to drive the vehicle when I started it. It has been at the Toyota dealer ever since, over a month ago.
