Our 2008 dodge caravan was parked in a parking lot for 10 minutes when out of nowhere the lights start flashing, horn blaring, wipers running, and could not get it to stop. This has happened intermittently five or six times with varying degrees of length (2 seconds to 30 minutes). Last time it happened I drove it to the chrysler dealer with the wipers and wiper washers squirting (I had since removed the horn fuses). They charged $136.00 to look at the codes and tell us they can't replicate the problem, so screw you. We're afraid to drive it as when the problem occurs it will only drive in first gear. It's interesting to see that there are others with the exact same symptoms and the fingers are pointing to the tipm. I'd like to sell it but can't really do so with a clear conscience. This sucks.
I organizationally bought this van from big o dodge in greenville s.c. I received a recall on this vehicle over a year ago. But every time I call big o dodge they say that they didn't get the part. I guess they are either waiting for me to die or sell the van. Address: 2645 laurens rd, greenville, sc 29607 phone:(864) 288-5000 hours: open today 9:00 am ? 8:00 pm.

The dash lights, head lights, and windshield wipers randomly go on and off. When this happens, I have no control over the headlights, wipers, turn signals, power windows, or door locks. I have not been able to find a mechanic who can definitively tell me what this is. It happens sporadically, sometimes with weeks in between incidents.
I stopped and parked the vehicle at a store. I turned the switch off but could not remove the key. I tried several times by restarting the vehicle and shutting it down but was unable to remove the key from the ignition switch. I stopped trying for about 15 seconds and was then able to restart the vehicle. Approximately 10 minutes later I was able to start, stop and remove the key ok. I drove across the street to the post office and the same situation occurred with the same results. There have been no further incidences since. I went to the dodge dealer and they said (essentially) "sorry charlie, it's your problem. We haven't received parts to service your recall".

September 11, 2014 received recall l25/the federal safety agency 14v‑373. Did not hear anything for three months, called chrysler said no parts available, waiting on manufacture. Today I was wondering if they had made the parts yet? Called five different times, each time on hold for a minimum 25 minutes. I would soon like to take grandchildren on vacation, but am concerned about this safety factor. Does anyone know how many years it takes to manufacture these safety parts?
