What owners wrote
When driving in any condition, street or freeway lights flicker or remain off for 30-60 second intervals. This happens at night and we have had mutiple close calls and once hit a guard rail. We have contacted our dealership 2-3 times in paso robles ca and we also notified morgan hill ram when they had the vehicle for an extended time period due to the engine blowing up under warranty. My husband commutes 150 miles one way and this is completely unsafe. No one seems to care. I have videos available via email.
