You're right and that's how it's designed. The problem with it is when you don't always have time to put your blinker on and you need to react quickly it fights you. I've come across object in the road or a tire retread blown off and it's hard to get around it if you need to cross the line. With that said I've had to many close calls with it and never use it.
After mine tried to turn me towards oncoming traffic because of an asphalt repair line (im guessing anyway.. but it sure as hell tried to move me to the left)... I switched mine to the rumble only at the next red-light.
I have it on my 22 SC 4X4
I never had it give me more then a small nudge before. Mine is on vibrate now. It is one of those fun novelties that can't react to certain conditions where you do a quick avoidance without thinking about using the blinker because there is plentyof room. I thought there may be something wrong with mine but it sounds like it's just normal operation.
Thing is up till now I loved it, but I never made an avoidance move before. Sometimes you hear made up excuses for an accident and don't believe them. I could see someone in this situation saying the truck did it if they weren't holding on tight and clipped the bike. Now I would believe them.
This was why I turned mine off. I was going to miss an exit on the interstate and started changing lanes at the last moment with plenty of clearance from other vehicles, and my truck fought me. I did not signal, but I don’t want my truck telling me what to do either!
I turned on acc and tested lane keeping by letting go of the wheel. It started warning me not to take my hands off. Lame!I hate it. I don’t share steering wheel and driver’s area while I drive. It was weeks after I got my truck when I finally tested it out of curiosity. Didn’t like and it doesn’t drive my truck for me if I switch on also ACC. That would make my truck rock!
