Four operators have reported instances of excessive stabilizer trim system coasting (stabilizer trim wheel continues to rotate) after the control wheel stabilizer trim switches have been activated and released. The reports indicate that when the pilot released the trim switches, the stabilizer trim wheel coasted up to 40 turns (four units of trim). In some instances the trim wheel stopped moving in the commanded direction and then rotated up to 40 turns in the opposite direction.
Not only a Lion Air problem.
