On 2016 models, the turn signals can stop working when the hazard lights are engaged.

Conditions
While either left or right turn signal are engaged:
  • If you hit the hazard switch while the dash turn signal indicator is off, the circuit will lock out.
    It can only be reset by canceling the turn signal.
If you time it so you engage the hazard indicators while the dash turn signal indicator is on, the circuit will work normally.
Avoiding
Hopefully rarely will you need to use the hazard indicators while a turn indicator is engaged.
If you do need this, cancel the turn signal before you hit the flasher button (or you stand a 50% chance of locking up the circuit).
Fix
  1. Turn off the hazard lights.
  2. Reset the turn signal.
