While driving with headlights on. Then, activated turn signal lights, and light on dash panel will blink fast, and let consumer know to change the light bulbs. Also, battery will die without a reason for it.

Front turn signal lights stop flashing while rear turn lights continue to work. Removed both front bulbs, filaments ok, appears failue due to arcing of contact materials different from those of bulb leads. Cleaned contacts and installed new bulbs, now work fine. Did not discuss with dealer but understand problem is common. Could lead to accidents since turn indicators are a safety item.
