Description of the problem	Almost 1 year after buying the car the dash and lights began to flicker, then flicker to the point it would loose power. While driving, lights would function like strobe lights, visually outside and inside. The radio would cut on and off. I took the vehicle back to carmax and they replaced the battery. The car would work a couple of weeks and then started with same problem. We returned vehicle back to carmax and they forward vehicle to dodge. They replace both the alternator and valve assembly @ a cost of $236. 49. This time it lasted several weeks longer but return back to same problem. We took vehicle back to carmax, they only experienced minor flickering that they said was normal. Our vehicle has now gotten far worst than before and has almost caused accidents by shutting off or loosing power while driving then suddenly accelerating. Vehicle now cuts off unexpectedly while driving and/or looses power then suddenly accelerates while driving making it very dangerous to drive. We have no idea what to do, please help.
