In owners' own words
The headlights while driving will flicker completely off. This happens during the daylight lights are on and at night when main headlights are on. This is very dangerous and concerning while driving at night when I have to drive on country roads where the headlights are vital. This issue also creates unnecessary confusion with other drivers as they are under impression I'm flashing my lights at them. Exterior lighting
Headlights periodically turn off and on while driving automatically, randomly, and without warning. Causes other drivers to become confused, disoriented, or enraged. Drivers think they are being intentionally flashed or harassed and respond with brake check or moving to another lane and becoming visibly distressed. This is a new truck, with less than 500 miles, and no warning lights are issued. Exterior lighting
Both headlights intermittently flicker on and off during operation. This is distracting for the driver while driving at night, and also distracts other drivers both ahead and oncoming. Dealer has reviewed the issue and is awaiting direction from the manufacturer for best way to resolve. No warning lamps or fault codes occured. The issue began within 30 minutes of purchase leaving dealership. Exterior lighting
