There is something going on with the electrical system which causes the instrument cluster to completely shut down and lights to flicker when driving. Usually happens when car heater is on or driving for a long period of time. I have a video of the issue and showed it to cerritos dodge service department but they didnt acknowledge issue.

My car's engine stalls without warning while driving. I had problems with this when i bought the car within the same week from a used car dealer. It now affects my headlights by making them flash on and off while driving. The car has been in and out of the shop for the past year and no one can seem to find the issue. There is a past time device installed which interfered with the security system. The dealership took…

This issue started approx 3 weeks ago. The head lights will not stay on they flicker off and on as if i was flashing my lights to alert another driver, when they are actually doing this on its on. This is not only a safety issue, but i'm afraid i will get pulled over by law officials. And my job requires me to have to be at work at night. This is very disturbing when this happens and they stay off at times for 30 to…

I was on my way to work tuesday morning and my headlights, foglights & dashboard lights kept flickering off & on even when the knob was turned off. I called dodge to see if there was a recall i was told that it wasn't. However, after reading the blogs & reviews this appears to be an ongoing problem with the same year, make & model that i have. *tr

About 2 months later, the headlights began to flicker on and off, sometimes for 10 seconds or…

While driving, all the lights on the dashboard light up simultaneously and then go dark (all of them). At the same time, all the gauges drop to zero, bounce to their max and then drop to a null state again. After this blinking event happens a few times, all of the monitoring systems and gauges return to a working state. When this happens, it does not seem to affect the driveability of the car (brakes, trans, etc.…

I have taken my car to the dealership 5 times to have issues fixed. Each time i got the car back, it was worse. I had 13 issues originally with the car. I ended up suing, and got a very small settlement- dodge refused to cooperate. I still have each and every problem, and do not know what else to do. My car dies while in reverse, the brakes malfunction constantly, the window panel remains broken due to their inept…
