2008 Dodge CARAVAN Exterior Lighting Problems, Complaints and Defects

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	We pulled out at night and started driving when suddenly and without warning the exterior headlights and fog lights started flashing, the interior warning lights started flashing, the wind shield wipers started going on and off, the windshield washer fluid started spraying, the lights on the gauges were flashing, and the ignition started "dinging" like when you turn it on. Granted this was at night so we lost headlights for several seconds at a time until we could get stopped. I had my 4 year old daughter in the car and my wife. Luckily we weren't going very fast and were able to get pulled over without being involved in a wreck. After turning the car on and off a couple of times and checking under the hood the problem ceased. Fast forward a few months. Similar incident occurred during the daytime. Basically the exact same issue as above. Luckily this was during the day and the headlights aren't as important. Once again after turning the vehicle on and off a couple of times and getting out of the vehicle to check under the hood it ceased. Fast forward a few weeks. Issue occurred once again during the day. At this point we refused to drive the vehicle at night as we deemed it unsafe at night with the potential that we could lose lights while driving 60 mph and have zero visibility. We were never able to get the lights to stop going on and off and the issue with the van is still occurring. I've read similar stories from other dodge owners and most have never been able to solve the issue even after spending thousands of dollars. This is going to seriously hurt or kill someone and a search regarding the lights flashing online for dodge caravans around this year makes it clear that there is a serious issue regarding the van. I also checked and dodge claims the other recalls have already been done on this van.
