The dash warning lights come on, blink, and a red light in the center of the dash comes on and beeps. The windshield wipers activate without using the switch. What is causing this? Is the vehicle safe to drive?
I went out and started my van, the wipers turned on automatically so I thought maybe I had turned the handle somehow... So I turned it off and that's when everything went wrong. All the dash lights started flashing and cycling through start up checks and then saying everything is off ABS, airbags etc. The seat was even repositioning itself. I took out my phone and started recording this weird episode that I have never seen before. I bought this van 5 months ago and don't know of its history, but this is not something anyone should have to deal with. 3 days later my wife was driving down the road when this started happening to her, the difference was that she sits closer to steering wheel then I do and the seat was jerking her back and forth while driving and scared her. Thanks [xxx]. I bought this van because I wanted the stow and go seats and side curtain safety along with everything else. My van is a loaded limited edition with most available options. After looking around the internet it seems like the tipm or a loose connection could be the problem and that dealerships are pretty much a waste of time for help on this. Chrysler knows of the issues because it happens across their vehicles and have only fixed certain models. The fact that a cracked shorting wire in the power door or a loose connector could cause all this is to go wrong is just poor engineering.

Received written notification of wireless ignition node module recall (r03/the federal safety agency 14v‑373) in june 2015. I called freedom chrysler/toyota of harrisburg, pa on 7/1/15 to schedule the recall service. The part needed to be ordered. I have called again on 9/18/15, 3/26/16 and 10/10/16. The part is still not available from chrysler. The dealer explains they are "at chrysler's mercy." why is this "important safety recall" taking over 16 months to resolve?

Various electrical systems fail while driving and then restore themselves.

Tire pressure monitor system indicates that it has failed, then after a few minutes is restored and all tire alarms go away. 3. High beams come on when it is still daylight 4.

After several hours of driving on interstates at the various legal speed limits from massachusetts to central pennsylvania, the dashboard warning chime started, and the tire pressure monitor system said that it had failed and then recovered after five minutes. Eventually, the tpm system recovered. This problem has occurred many times over the last two years. The car dealer could not detect any problem.
After several hours of driving on interstates at the various legal speed limits from central pennsylvania to massachusetts, the dashboard warning chime started, the information display showed that the blind spot detection system was inoperative and then the transmission down shifted to 3 resulting in excessive engine revs. Cruise control was engaged at the time, but the car was not going down a hill. The driver used the +/- shift control to return the car to gear 6. At the same time, the tire pressure monitor system said that it had failed and then recovered after five minutes. Eventually, the tpm system recovered as did the blind spot detection system. All of these problems have happened in the past individually, but on this trip they all happened at once.
