Do a search for "SZL". Do your blinkers and windshield wipers act funny sometimes?

nope, it's just the asc, flat tire, and the red brake sign that comes on.

Same thing happened to me one time, but never repeated itself.

This looks like the Steering Angle Sensor (SZL) problem to me. Do you find that the turn signals don't shut off automatically after you go around a corner when this is happening?

Mine started doing the exact same thing yesterday. The two warning lights come on and the blinkers won't turn themselves off automatically. I'm calling my dealer today.

Has anyone been able to fix this issue before?

DB - your problem sounds like the SZL.

heyjay, if your blinkers work correctly you may have a bad ground.
check these two ground locations located under your drivers side wheel well:


edit:

I just had a look and I think those two are directly beside your fuse box under the bonnet. Look outboard and down from your fuse box and you'll see two ground wires attached to the chassis. Make sure the nuts are tight

It might be something else, but if it is loose I'd bet that is the problem.
Get a rachet with an extension to reach it.

Those are the exact same warnings Scarlett displayed this morning. Turning her off and on again, they remained. Seems its the SZL sensor or body control module that is faulty and needs replacing.
