Sounds like a programming glitch, maybe a BCM starting to go bad or it could be just a grounding issue. Chryslers have all kinds of wiring and control module issues when they start getting a little age on them. Bad as I hate this but you may need to take it to a dealer just to make sure the software is up to date first.
