I bought my 2013 300C three days ago and today the drivers side blind spot light started flashing and won't quit, even while driving with not traffic anywhere. Any ideas?

Welcome to the fourm!
I bet this is a simple fuse that needs to be pulled and reset. Maybe check the manual and find the fuse pull it for about 1 min. and see if that helps.
If your in the north is there any snow or ice build up? You could try a fuse pull to reset... if nothing happens then it could be a sensor fault and with a '13 I'm sure your dealer will sort it out for you under warranty. Sorry your having early issues... sometimes these little bugs happen before you get it the way you want it.
Thanks, onequickhotrod and silver06hemic! I am in Minnesota and after a night in the heated garage, the flashing quit. It sure is going to be a pain if this happens after every snowfall, though. I wonder if mudflaps would help avoid the snow build up in that area?
Hmmmm figured it would be snow and crud related... not sure that mud flaps would help or not! I know with backup sensors in the bumper this has been known to be an issue in nasty weather. If you locate the sensor you could just knock off the build up over it when it occurs! I know that kinda sucks as a response but honestly not sure there is another way!

Happens with my 2013 Town and Country too! Haven't found any snow or ice on the sensors, though I guess road grime is a possibility. I hope this isn't going to turn out to be a technology fail.
Well, now the sensor light is flashing on the other side, the car is clean, the roads are clean and it's been in the heated garage for several days. I give up. I'm just shutting it off and calling the dealer.
Yep that now sounds like a hardware issue... something is malfunctioning. Sorry to say its off to the dealer for you! Sorry for your troubles... hopefully its not too major. Report back here when you know so we can remember it for the next person looking!

The area on the rear fascia where the radar sensors are located must remain free of snow, ice, and dirt/road contamination so that the BSM system can function properly. Do not block the area of the rear fascia where the radar sensors are located with foreign objects (bumper stickers, bicycle racks, etc.).
