Automatic Blinkers?

[whatevergoof]

So I recently bought a 2002 Ford Focus SE. The car's just great! The only thing, the blinkers don't automatically turn off. The dealer seemed to be convinced that the car was manufactured this way. Well personally I'm convinced they would never do that in a new car. I just don't understand what would be wrong. I've had a few people say its in the steering column and that it's a spring or a censor. I just don't wanna tear it apart without knowing for sure. I mean it's really not that big of a deal to hafta manually turn the blinkers off. I just don't want to be that lady that forgets to turn her blinker off if you know what I mean. So does anyone have any ideas what's up, or some unGodly reason why they would design a car this way?
