Here are my Gremlins on 2011 Citadel.
1. One touch triple blink turn signal works intermittently.
2. A/C light comes on by it self occasionally. I know comes on automatically with recirculation mode.
3. Front defroster does not turn off when you press the defroster button 2nd time. It will turn off if I push auto climate button or air flow mode button.
Anybody else have these problems or solutions?

The front defroster doesnt turn off with a second touch, you have to use the auto button or air flow button. It messed me up at first but i called the dealer and thats what the service and parts guy told me. My dads Citadel also does the same thing.

No problem, you shhould still get your turn signal problem checked out from a dealer though.

This is even more common when the key is in a man's pocket. If my kids jump on me, or I sit with a book, or I just put my hands on my thighs as I stand up, any of those things can cause one of the remote buttons to be pushed. I frequently go out to the garage and find the car locked for just that reason.

If you are not used to it, this is an "automatic", set it and forget it climate system. Auto mode is the default which will allow most any situation to be remedied automatically. When you change something, you have to hit Auto again to go back to the default. These switches are not on/off buttons, but departures from the default/automatic mode. As another example: if you turn the fan up higher (out of default mode), you can't turn the fan back down to get back to where you were. You need to hit Auto to do that.

Wow. Thanks for the info. How did you find out about all this. I couldn't even find it in the manual. Anyway, I'm glad that it's functioning normally. Thanks again for the great info.

You should really quit washing it and getting it wet and feeding it after midnight so much if you're worried about gremlins. Electronics make the world better right?
