Headlamp (low beam projection)repeatedly shuts off after few minutes driving. i know that some police vehicles have this problem and they have been recalled. can no longer use my personal car after sunset. local dealer will repair but at my expense. this is a big deal safety issue that i shouldn't have to worry about.
While driving on smooth or rough roads, highways, city streets or even parked with low beams on every time one light will start to flicker and go out completely and will not come back on until light switch is turned off and back on. first was driver side for a week or two, but now stays on. but as soon as the driver quit flickering now the passenger side does it all the time not a day for the last 4 months has it not turned off. doesn't matter if lights on auto or manually turned on this happens. the amount of time it takes to happens ranges from few seconds to 20 min. dealer acts as if they don't know what i'm talking about never heard of such a problem and can't duplicate problem so can't get fixed. this goes for me and thousands of others with same issue we now can't drive vehicle at night or take a risk that could either get us a ticket for no headlight or could be in a driving situation being pitch black out no city lights to help see making a turn and lights go out. that is a for sure ...
My vehicle is having all of the problems associated with the p08 recall. my low beam headlights intermittently go out while driving at night. completely dangerous for me to drive this way. factory says my vehicle vin is not part of the recall. i believe that you clearly missed diagnosed what vehicles were effected as mine is. please help!
When i am driving my vehicle either one or both headlights will go out. i am able to flip them off and they will turn back on but continue to go out as i am driving. this occurs during all driving conditions, highway, city, stationary, moving, accelerating, breaking.
When i start the vehicle, the low beams work normally. within five minutes of lights being on, whether idle or during driving, they will turn off on there own. i am then forced to use high beams in order to have lighting at night.
While driving lights shut off, i switch from auto to on, to turn lights back on, lights flicker slightly as well. car taken dealership changed car battery, key fog, and shortened wires to liggts. problem is not fixed.
The driver's side hid low beam will randomly turn off. upon using the toggle switch to turn both lights off and back to the on position, the failed headlamp will re-illuminate until it fails again. this appears to be an issue with the ballast, not the bulb.

2011 dodge charger r/t 5.7l hemi with automatic high beams. headlight(low beam) intermittently goes out and sometimes when switching from high to low beam the low bean doesn't function and one must turn off the lights manually and re-engage them to work.
Several times, the car has stalled while driving. i have had to come to a complete stop, restart the engine and it has gone away. in the last 18 months i have noticed on random occasions, when doing a left turn, it feels like the power steering is no longer working, and this only happens on left turns. finally, i have some strange electrical issues happening, sometimes my left low beam will work, other days it won't. now the sound to the speakers have stopped, and then today, i left to go to work, my car won't start, all i have is an illuminated etc light and nothing. i have tried getting dodge to look at it repeatedly, it is clearly a wiring electrical fault, they keep telling me nothing is under real, and i keep putting money after money into the car, and i think its going to get me hurt one day.
My low beam on the the car had gone out and will do so after having the car on for a few minutes then the light will come back on if i turn them off and it will turn off again. some times the lights will stay on for hours and other times they turn off within a couple minutes and usually one light goes first and the other shortly after
