Default Strange one-off things your car has done

Want to share some weird car glitches?

This is in my AU II:

The other day I came home after a bit of a drive to do some chores to find someone in my driveway with their hazards on. As a joke, I turned mine on while waiting and discovered my hazards wouldn't come on! After parking, I switched the car off and tried them and they worked fine. Have tried them since a few times and they are working fine. That was the only time they've not worked.

One time 7 or 8 years ago I was reversing out of a driveway and my engine just stopped for no reason. It's the only time it's ever stopped on its own.

About 5 years ago I was driving home in a rainy thunderstorm after midnight on New Years' and my dash illumination lights starting flickering and browning out and there was a tiny ticking sound. It stopped after a few seconds and has never done it ever again.

About three months ago I was driving along and my indicators went crazy when I went to indicate a lane change. They both started quickly flashing randomly, then after a few seconds it stopped happening. Hasn't ever happened again.

Any other weird stuff like this happen to you?
