    Really need to have a good auto electrical person test the dash system to see what is defective, if you can still drive your car. Bottom line is this is NOT normal and does not sound safe.

    This sounds like your alternator is going bad, need to have it checked and more than likely replaced. Have seen the same issue with many vechicles. Happens when alternator can't recharge battery well enough to keep up with the vechicles power consumption.
