What owners wrote
Headlights will go off and flicker. Sometimes stay out for about 2 seconds, and then will eventually come back on. Nothing I do will make them come back on. I have to wait for them to come back on on their own accord. It happens at varying speeds - any where from 15 MPH to 65 MPH. It doesn't matter if the road is smooth or not, or what the weather conditions are. I've reported it to diamler/chrysler with no results. They simply stated there have been no outstanding recalls on my vehicle.
The headlights and dashboard lights go off by themselves. Vehicle was taken to the dealer on numerous occasions and no defects found.
