4 Turn Signal problem

Failure Date: 12/22/2019

On my 2016 Toyota Tundra 1794 edition, with headlights in "auto" position, when I use turn signal, the headlights, taillights and dash lights all occasionally turn off. Once turn signal shuts off, lights come back on . It typically happens at night when it's cold out. It has now happened probably half a dozen times in the last six months. While problem is intermittent, it's very scary, as I'm driving blind on a rural road until the light come back on. On the Tundras. Com owners website, this appears to be a common issue. Help! before someone gets hurt.

When engaging turn signal, all lights extinguish momenatarily. This is an intermitten and happens at random, but not constant. The first time I noticed was early morning before sun rise I was in a turning lane at a red light stopped, engaged left turn signal and all lights went dark. The next time I was attempting to merge and engaged turn signal in traffic all lights went dark. I searched the internet forums to find this is a common occurence with Tundra platinum and 1794 models. My vehicle has no modifications and all lighting is factory installed.
