Default Turn indicator and alarm issues

I have a 2010 Laramie. Has anyone else experienced an erratic turn signal (flashes fine for 10 seconds, then makes a couple of very quick flashes then flashes normal and then repeats).

Also twice now my staff have called me and advised that my alarm is going off and nobody is around the vehicle. My key fob was with me and I was 40 km ( 32 miles ) away.

I have asked the dealer if this is associated with my radio that has been removed for replacement and keeps burning up when replaced ( waiting for my third RER) and they say no.

No, but I occasionally get an erotic EVIC image (flashing lap dancer) when I dim down the lights.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

When you see the erratic turn signal, look at the EVIC and see if there is a message on it. On my 09 if you leave the turn signal on for a long time there is a message on the Evic that says something like Turn Signal On (Hey dummy, you're driving with your signal on). Maybe they decided that was too distracting and changed the 2010 to alter the signal flash so you would notice it.
