What is your question?
I had an occurence last night, I was trying to turn right so quick while i was trying to stay away from a fire truck one car behind me and I was so used to driving a 5 speed and while I was turning right so quick I did not realize I change my automatic gear from DRIVE to NEUTRAL. I was pulling up the parking lot and I felt my car was slowing down and I couldn't turn left like it was locking me out and I panic and looked all around in my car and I realize I had the shift on neutral. I quickly shift to DRIVE and then few minutes after my traction control light came on but my friend told me to drive around a couple minutes and it will go away so I did, thank God the warning light turned off. The problem now is my blinker is not turning off when I turn. I have to manually turn it off. Any reason why I am having this problem and what can I do to correct it? Thanks.

You may have broken a tab off of "cancel actuator" . The control stalk of the multi-function switch is moved upward to activate the right turn signal circuitry, and, downward to activate the left turn signal circuitry. The turn signal switch has a detent position in each direction that provides turn signals with automatic cancellation, and an intermediate, momentary position in each direction that provides turn signals only until the control stalk is released. When the control stalk is moved to a turn signal switch detent position, the cancel actuator extends toward the center of the steering column. A turn signal cancel cam that is integral to the clockspring rotates with the steering wheel and the cam lobes contact the cancel actuator when it is extended from the multi-function switch. When the steering wheel is rotated during a turning maneuver, one of the two turn signal cancel cam lobes will contact the turn signal cancel actuator. The cancel actuator latches against the cancel cam rotation in the direction opposite that which is signaled. If the left turn signal detent is selected, the lobes of the cancel cam will ratchet past the cancel actuator when the steering wheel is rotated to the left, but will unlatch the cancel actuator as the steering wheel rotates to the right and returns to center, which will cancel the turn signal event and release the control stalk from the detent so it returns to the neutral Off position.
Thank you the Master, I was trying to click the thumbs up button but I mistakenly click the thumbs down, sorry but I clicked the thumbs up after......
