Turn signal lights don't work
The first place to start are fuses, check your owners manual for location, typically left side of dash.
The emergency (hazard) flashers and turn signals are on separate fuses and run through the hazard switch. If all the lights work when the hazard switch is on then the problem will likely be a blown turn signal fuse.
Other possibilities are the hazard switch itself is bad, the turn signal switch is bad or a broken wire, all of which require a meter (or test light) wiring diagram and knowledge of the circuit to test it - better to have it done.

What does it sound like when a cv joint is going out?
usually they will make a "clicking" sound when turning a hard right/left, like pulling into a parking space. if you hear this sound, chances are you have a cv problem. look under the front of your vehicle and look at the rubber boots that cover the cv joints, you will probably find them ripped or torn. when this happens, your grease will not have a way to stay in and thats what causes the "clicking" sound, dry or insufficiently lubricated cv joints. let me know what you find out. hope this helps, good luck.
Car wont start
Check the intake elbow to be absolutely certain it doesn't have a rip or tear in it (them) where it connects to the throttle body, and on Mass Airflow Sensor. There can be no leaks there. Get a spray can of Mass Airflow Sensor cleaner and clean the MAF. Remove and inspect the ribbed elbow, checking for holes worn in it that could leak air. If the amount of air entering the throttle body differs from what is sensed by the MAF sensor, the mixture will be wrong and make the engine run poorly. If there is a leak before the MAF sensor it doesn't affect the running of the engine. If you haven't run Fuel Injection cleaner in the gas, try STP Super Concentrate (2 small bottles or one large). Also check vacuum lines are not cracked (if so replace them). Throttle body must have a good seal to the intake manifold.
How do I get the service stability track to stop appearing on the dash of my 2012 chevrollet impala?
The same as with ALL Vehicle issues
Check for codes & diagnose the system with
the problem & make the required repairs
I fail to see why everyone just wants dash lights to go away
No one wants to education themselves on why the lights are
lite on the dash,no concerns about doing possible damage
to the vehicle if it is continued to be used,no safety concerns!
These vehicle systems & their dash lights have been with us
for over 30 years Really! This is not anything new.
When you ask what to do,it indicates you only drive a vehicle,
ignore any dash lights,don't have a shop you go to or ask questions,
don't care or want to spend a dime
Brake light stop working
I can't imagine three brake lights all losing their grounds. You will need a volt meter to check (with the help of an assistant) to see if about 12 volts is available at the bulb socket's brake light socket (as measured to ground) when the brake pedal is depressed and held. Do the same for the other light and finally the third brake light. If there is a total loss of power at all the bulb sockets with the brake pedal depressed and held, check for about 12 volts coming to the brake pedal switch while not being depressed and that voltage comes out the other connection at the switch when the brake pedal is depressed. If power comes in on one wire but doesn't come out the other side when pressing the pedal this means the switch is bad. Replace it with a new one. Ne advised that SOME vehicles brake lights don't come on if the key is off, on most they work at all times even if the key is off.
