My 2008 chrysler town & country mini van with 35k miles will unexpectedly have the horn go on, front and rear wipers go on, lights flash, washer fluid squirt out in both the front and back window. This has been going on for the past 2 1/2 months. Additionally the remote key does not work to open the door and the car will not start start. The only remedy is to pull the fuse or disconnect the battery. This has happened 5 times while the car is not running nad 2 times when the car was running. It has been to the dealer 3 times and they say they cannot find anything wrong. I had them change the clock spring but that did not correct the problem , then had them change the tipm, still waiting to see if that works. Either case this is a safty issue!
