Comments the dash lights and the headlights flicker off and on at night. They come on in the off position and turn off in the on position. This has been going on for almost a year. I have not had it checked out for fear that it will be costly. Anyone have suggestions on a resolution? Dash, interior lights, door locks, and trunk. Don't work trouble lights all flash then headlights and dash lights go out. I turn the headlight switch from "auto" to "manual" and the headlights come back on. Dash lights continue to flicker intermittently but at least I can drive it - afraid this switch trick will quit working one night while I'm on an unlit country road! 2005 chrysler 300 189,000 mi, the dash lights and the headlights flicker off and on at night. They come on in the off position and turn off in the on position. This has been going on for almost a year. On going issue...concern that this could be a safety issue to myself and the public.

My headlights flickers on and off. This hazard almost caused me to have a serious accident. The lights goes from dim to off at any moment while I'm driving or if my car is standing still. Also, my signal lights began flashing out of control. Sometimes other drivers can see that I' signaling to turn and sometimes they can't. I've been told that my lights are fine. Evidently, this is one of chrysler's defects. In addition, I've trouble with my front end wheels on my car. I've had to get the bearing that keeps your car going straight while driving replaced.

When I turn on the headlights, the headlights and interior lights flash in intensity, and brightness. The result of this hazard is that it distracts the driver of my car, and any driver on the road who come into view of the chrysler 300. This condition is amplified by switching head lights from low to high beam. The chrysler corporation has been aware of this problem since january12, 2005. This is a serious hazard and affects the safe operation of this vehicle. Why hasn't there been a recall to give relief and safety in this matter????????????????????????????????????????

The vehicle's headlights, dash, and interior lights would flicker, sometimes they would just shut off without warning. Cold start, idling, accelerating, and while braking. There is a tsb (18-003-05) detailing this issue. This is obviously a safety related issue and repairs should be handled by the manufacturer.
