Consumer Description

HEADLIGHTS TURNING OFF AND ON AND FLASHING WHILE DRIVING, POWER DOOR LOCKS NOT WORKING DURING THIS TIME. IF INTERIOR LIGHTS ARE ON AT THIS TIME THEY WOULD FLASH ON AND OFF ALSO. FOUND PREVIOUS YEAR MODELS OF DODGE RAM'S AND DAKOTA'S HAVE SAME PROBLEM WHICH WAS RECALLED. CENTRAL TIMER MODULE HAD TO BE REPLACED AND REPROGRAMMED. A VEHICLE WITH 60,000 MILES SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. COULD ONLY DRIVE IN DAYLIGHT HOURS UNTIL PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED AT MY EXPENSE.*AK
