This sounds like it could be a bad battery or ignition switch. When the car has low power, you get multiple unusual symptoms in the electronics. The turn signals is one that I have personally seen with a bad battery. Others are auto door locking at 5 MPH quits working. You might also get a Trans Failsafe Prog. error on the dash. Nav and radio not working are also common.

How old is your battery? If it is original or more than 5 years old, you might consider replacing it.
