So on my dad's Volvo something really weird is going on. There is this intersection by our house where it always always does this. What happens is, when you go to the turn lane in the middle to turn left and put your blinker on, the stalk lets it blink twice, then turns off. Well a few weeks ago the stalk broke off, and we had to get a brand new one. The new one does it still. It is the weirdest thing ever. It doesn't ever do it anywhere else, just at that turn. I think it's possessed. I should sell it on eBay

Maybe there's a large electromagnet buried under that intersection?

its probably the geometry of the turn... i notice things like that with my car too (not a volvo), just out of habit, i turn the car only so much or a specific way for turns i take multiple times every day...

I wouldnt worry about it, i would bet that the falling off is not related to that turn also...

or your car could be posessed, in that case, just give it to chuck norris
