Owner reports filed with NHTSA, as written (personal details removed). Complaints are not verified by NHTSA.

Unknown or Other · at 70 miles · reported Sep 22, 2017
Two key safety system warnings are not detectible under normal driving conditions: 1) steering wheel shake if you drift out of lane is not felt driving under normal highway conditions. 2) audible alarm if you activate the turn signal with a car in your blind spot can not be heard over the noise of the air conditioner or radio under normal volume. I had 3 members of the dealership tech/service department test drive the car and all agreed that the problem is as I described. However they also said "that's the way it is" and there is no fix.
