1 Engine Funny Noise problem

Failure Date: 11/01/2019

I recently purchased a 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan. The car shuts off on me while driving . It will start back up after you put it in park and turn it back on but it just shuts off . It shut off on me twice on the highway with my kids in the car and four times while driving in the city. It makes this weird noise when turning left and the lights are flickering on and off. If that's not enough the doors seem to just open and close on there own the trunk shut on me while I was getting groceries out. I brought the car into the shop and they said they can't duplicate the shutting off and claimed they fixed the door opening in it's own problem . Well the doors continue to open and now they are hard to open with the key and you have to manually open them . This is a safety concern and the dealer is claiming there is nothing wrong please help me.
