Started vehicle, and headlights and taillights began flashing. Headlight switch did not affect this. Turning off ignition did not stop problem. Only disconnecting battery stopped flashing. This would be an extremely dangerous situation if driver was moving at night. This needs to be a recall, as many similar problems exist and Chrysler know about hem, see topix. Com.
