The rear passenger tail light assembly keeps shorting out. The bulb has been replaced, the assembly has been replaced, no water is leaking into the assembly, and repair/replacement only temporarily fixes the problem. Vehicle has been inspected by a mechanic who had seen this problem before, but was unaware of an actual fix for the problem.

Shortly after the purchase we received a TSB for dim low beams. We took it to our dealer and they increased the voltage to the low beams using a scanner. They seemed ok but still seemed dim compared to our other vehicles.

I have observed that the headlights and fog lights flicker about every 1 minute while driving. Nothing running in the cab that would affect the voltage or amps to draw to cause this. I have read several online threads of dozens if not hundreds of others having the same issue with no solution or any dealership to help.

Drivers side headlight has a broken seal and has filled with condensation. Headlight has reduced performance and does not offer the proper level of lighting for night driving. I have seen a dozen of these dodge rams with the same condition.

The driver's side headlight fills with water. The water happens when ever the vehicle is driven. The condensation never dissipates and keeps the light lens fogged up.

Headlights will shut off then turn back on so fast if you blink you miss it. Have not noticed a pattern in when it happens. Only time I have not noticed it happening is when the headlights are on while vehicle is not running.

My radio screen went black where you could see nothing on it no matter what controllers you tried to switch. This happened almost on every trip. The only way to get it on was to pull over and let the vehicle stand for a little bit until it cools down, then it would turn back on.

While driving at night the lights on the instrument cluster start blinking from dim to bright, this make it extreamly difficult to see. The only way to get it to stop is to pull off the road and turn the vehicle off and restart it. This is extreamly dangerous when you have to pull off the side of a highway.

The low beam projector head lights do not put out enough light to drive safely at night. Even on a clear night I have to put my fog lights on to be able to see the side of the road, if the road is wet with on coming traffic I just point the truck and hope for the best. I will not drive at night any more if I can help it.

I have owned this truck for several months with no issues and I have not driven when it has been dark outside. But on this occasion it was night and I noticed the headlights were extremely dim and seemed to be adjusted to low so stopped found the level adjustment for the head lights and made an adjustment which raised them but made little or no difference.
