2 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2007

Since purchase I have had what seems to be electircal problems with flickering lights when driving at night. Not sur eif it is a voltage issue or what. Several people felt I was flashing my lights they flicker so much. Been to dealer with no corrective result. This is a safety issue as once a truck I was passing thought I was letting him over when in fact I was not but it was my lights just flickering due to acceleration. This has been happening since van purchase in 2006. Have been living with this problem since purchase but it may be getting worse.
