Headlights will shut off then turn back on so fast if you blink you miss it. Have not noticed a pattern in when it happens. Only time i have not noticed it happening is when the headlights are on while vehicle is not running. Have talked to four different dealers and called the manufacturer directly still no help.

One day last week i woke up and my left rear steering wheel control button stopped functioning. (turns the radio station tuning down) also the high mounted reverse lights do not work when in reverse. I also had a blown high mounted rear brake light bulb out which was replaced. Horn works no check engine light. I have not taken it to do to diagnostic cost.

Rear cab 3rd brake light leaks extreme amount of water when raining hard. There are hundards of video that highlight this issue. Water entering the cab could potentially start a fire or some kind of electric short. Chrysler/ram doesn't offer a solution to fix at their cost.

The driver's side headlight fills with water. The water happens when ever the vehicle is driven. The condensation never dissipates and keeps the light lens fogged up. This hinders visibility. I have asked the dealer if there was a recall and to fix this problem to no avail.

While driving at night the lights on the instrument cluster start blinking from dim to bright, this make it extreamly difficult to see. The only way to get it to stop is to pull off the road and turn the vehicle off and restart it. This is extreamly dangerous when you have to pull off the side of a highway.

My radio screen went black where you could see nothing on it no matter what controllers you tried to switch. This happened almost on every trip. The only way to get it on was to pull over and let the vehicle stand for a little bit until it cools down, then it would turn back on. Brought to the dealership was told that it could have been related to the radio security recall. Got the radio software updated. The…

The low beam projector head lights do not put out enough light to drive safely at night. Even on a clear night i have to put my fog lights on to be able to see the side of the road, if the road is wet with on coming traffic i just point the truck and hope for the best. I will not drive at night any more if i can help it. I have found an after market replacement bulb that may help.

When we got off the ferry it was after 9:00 pm and was very dark. We proceeded to head for the beach area of cape may and my wife told me to turn the headlights on to which i responded they are on. I am 66 years old and have had 6 trucks starting in…
