While driving the headlights flicker. They also periodically blink off for a second then return. This may happen any amount of times while driving or parked out of gear. I often travel s state highway but doesn'tatter where or when I can bet on it happening.

My 2008 dodge ram 1500 truck is having issues with the turn signals. My turn signals work 25% of the time and 50% of the time they do work, they activate the opposite side (wrong side) I am trying to select. I have visited many internet sites that discuss this problem, and I have found that this issue is a major safety problem that will lead to accidents. I feel this turn signal problem should lead to a chrysler recall as it is a design defect.
