2009 DODGE CARAVAN Complaints

SOME TIMES WHEN I HAVE GOT IN THE CAR AND STARTED IT UP I WILL TRY TO TAKE DOWN THE WINDOW AND IT WILL NOT GO UP OR DOWN, THE WINDOW WIPERS START GOING AND THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD START GOING OFF AND ON AND IT WILL START DINGING . THIS ALSO DOES THIS WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS AND IF I PULL OVER AND TURN THE CAR OFF OR MY SON-N-LAW DISCONNECTS THE BATTERY AND WAITS A LITTLE WHILE TO RE-SET IT, THE CAR WILL START UP FINE. *TR

THE DESCRIBED OCCURRENCE HAPPENED AT LEAST THREE TIMES. I HAD STOPPED PREPARING TO ENTER A STREET FROM A PARKING LOT. UPON ACCELERATING TO PULL ONTO STREET, THE ENGINE DIED... I HAD TO TURN THE KEY AND ENGINE RESTARTED WITHOUT ISSUE. IF ONE IS IN A BUSY TRAFFIC SITUATION, THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. ANOTHER TIME, I WAS STOPPED FOR TRAFFIC SIGNAL AND PREPARING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. UPON GETTING THE GREEN LIGHT, I STARTED INTO THE INTERSECTION AND THE ENGINE ABRUPTLY DIED. IT WAS EASILY RESTARTED AGAIN BY TURNING THE KEY. I HAVE WENT INTO MY DEALERSHIP TWO OR THREE TIMES BUT THEY CANNOT FIND A PROBLEM... *TR
