Hello, long time user of site but first post. Wifes 2022 charger gt is on its 2nd oil change and both times we get in to leave dealership and it dings and shows turn signals out both sides front. It happened at same dealership, both times. I'm on oil change 2 and at the dealership right now. It did it again. It's back in the bay now. Just wondering if any one else had this issue and what it was.

Just got keys Back service man said he reset the system it was telling car there was problem but he didn't see any issues or anything not connected.

Thanks

Take it somewhere else for the next oil change to see if it's the car or your dealer that has a fault.
You mentioned that this has happened twice, each time after an oil change at the dealership. What did they do to fix the problem after it happened the first time?
They take it back, and reset it with a computer on the diagnostic port.

Service guy said he never heard of that happening. Same as last time. I think since today I bought a contract I'll try another dealer next oil change.

Thanks
That is odd. The only connection between an oil change and the BCM (Body Control Module) is that, when the oil change is completed, the "Engine Oil Life" indicator is reset back to 100%. If you want to experiment, you (or a tech) could reset the oil change indicator and see if that causes the problem.
Reset oil changelightt with car and I didn't get turn signal error.

i work for a dealership, we see this a lot in the newer model chargers. we don't know what causes it to happen, and its not every charger that comes in. all you have to do to fix the problem is leave the turn signal on for about 10 seconds and it will return back to normal. repeat for both sides and you will get a message on the dash saying " no stored codes" you're good to go. also, yes it blinks fast inside the car and shows the message, but all outside turn signals do still function normally.

I'll give it a shot next time. Thanks
It's dome it every oil change so far. On the 22 gt
I am experiencing the same issue. But yeah they go off after keeping them on for sometime. Not sure if we need to escalate the situation?
New 2023 Scat with 1,000 miles had same issue at oil change. I took it back they kept the car for 3 days before telling me it's a known issue and engineering would do a updated flash some time this year. The actual issue is when they plug in there OBD2 reader to pull all the car info to automatically update your info it freaks out the pcm. I haven't tested a non dealer reader to see if it's all scanners or just the dealerships. Given some cars have been doing this for at least 2 years with no fix and they ended production this year I would bet they just ignore it. I'm disappointed in there commitment to the repairs of known issues.

Sorry to hear that on your scat. My 21 scat no issues like yours or the wifes 22 gt. Today her 22 charger got new drive shaft. Her car got a check engine light , they read the code, invalid gear ratio in gear 6. Said the drive shaft was noisy. Car clunked every now and then on down shifting , just picked it back up today and and sure enough wife got in, and before got put of parking lot, the turn signal out both sides front came on. They do clear if you leave it alone. She did go tell the dealer (different one then we did the 2 previous oil changes at) They said never seen it before, don't make sense etc. What's odd is they test drove it, then parked in service area, when wife went in, they brought car to her, it didn't do it for them. It has to be the diagnostic tool they use or something, but it definitely won't be fixed if not all know about it, plus being that this is last year also. Nog a big deal but makes you think what else is wrong , is it electrical issue waiting till warranty is gone lol.

Maybe the car is trying to tell your wife that it likes her ?😁
