/'left front turn signal works but not when headlights are on
1. check your turn signal light bulbs to see if one is burned out or partly burned out. One filament may be broken. Do it with lights on and off. Check brake lights. If one not working that is the problem bulb. Check front and back lights.2. replace your turn signal flashers in fuse panel
FRONT END VIBRATION
The dealer is not going to replace something if they can not prove to the company the part is defective. The company won't pay the warranty claim.A bent axle was my next guess. A garage could find out by using the same dial indicator used to check for a bent rim. The dial gauge is placed against the shaft and the wheel is turned, if the axle is bent the dial will move.I don't know what Road Forced balanced means, but most balancing machines duplicate road speed of about 30MPH. So a tire or wheel can balance ok on a machine but still have a vibration at speeds above 30 or 40mph. The easiest way to make sure is move the front tires to the back and see if the vibration travels too.If you are describing the problem correctly, it almost has to be in the transmission, the axles, or the wheels. There is a slight chance a strut or strut mount could be faulty and allowing a small bounce to be amplified.
